New Innovations in Greenhouse Control Systems & Technology

Various greenhouse automation equipment like computer software and sensors are connected and used to collect data in the greenhouse environment to boost crop yields. This new innovative technology (IoT or the Internet of Things) makes use of numerous sensors linked to a central greenhouse environment climate control computer. The greenhouse sensor system has elements that monitor and control temperature, humidity, electrical conductivity, pH, carbon dioxide (c02), fogging, shading and read external weather conditions via a weather station The gathered information helps to control not only specific elements within the internal growing environment but also saves time,  energy costs and labor. We even include in our software an irrigation schedule to control up to 5 different feed formulas and expandable zones. Growers today are investing in greenhouse technology & controls to ensure that their crop will produce healthy yields and run a more productive operation which in turn means, better financial performance for the company.

Greenhouse Sensor System Principles

 A sensor is any tool that measures some chemical or physical characteristics and alters the results into an electrical signal collected by the main automation computer and then this data can be easily read and interpreted by the grower. Automation can make growing easier with lots of instrumentation to be a more precise grower and get all elements feed to a crop that it is looking for.

However, user input is always required by you the grower to set limits, create schedules and create your own feed formulas, the automated software helps with controlling all the things you use to have to do manually, opening a vent for instance and keeping a close eye on all data values. If the pH of the water gets too high for instance, our software will trigger an alarm, before you would have to test for pH your self or by some other semi-automated sensor. With our Climate Manager™, all data and controls become centralized to make things like monitoring and user input easier for you the grower

Control More with Greenhouse Automation Equipment

1. Outside Weather Station

 Ok, so we can’t control the weather outdoors, would be nice though wouldn’t it? But having some instrumentation on top of the greenhouse in the way of a professional weather station it great to read all outside weather conditions like temperature, solar, temperature, wind and rain conditions. These all affect the greenhouse and how you should make adjustments to the inside of the greenhouse, again all of these signals can be read, then trigger a control in the greenhouse, if the solar level gets too high, trigger all vents to open for instance.

2. temperature and Humidity conditions in all greenhouse compartments

Greenhouse temperatures rise under intense sunlight. This rise in temperature is referred to as “solar gain”. To enter the greenhouse, light has to travel through the greenhouse glass or plastic, in doing so the light loses some of its energy which is converted to heat. Without a cooling system, the temperature and humidity within the greenhouse can rise to over + 45 °C. To successfully optimize the environment within the greenhouse means countering the adverse effects of the external environment with the proper greenhouse controls and automation to ensure temperature and humidity levels stay optimal for crop health and growth.

3. Fan, Co2, HID lighting, shading, fog and pad control

With expandable control and modules for our greenhouse control equipment, there is no limit to what you can automate or control. Fans, Co2, Lighting, etc can all be configured and controlled by our growing software. This means that you will have precise control over the internal environment to optimize for the perfect growing conditions for your crop.

4. Irrigation and Misting Programs

Keep your crops fed well on a schedule with precise feed control, our systems work down to the milliliter (mL) which means that you will save on both water and fertilizer costs. Most growers report that they save around 30% on water costs and 40% on fertilizer costs annually. This not only means big savings for the grower but because of the exact formulas going out to the crops each day on a properly timed schedule, you will see a large increase in plant health yields as well.

 Irrigation Scheduling with Substrate Sensors

We have also introduced wireless sensors that measure and detect soil moisture to trigger irrigation feeds out to your crop. We can have up to 30 substrate soil sensors to measure temp, EC and Water Content (moisture) right within your growing medium. This is a great overall advantage to measure and see what is happening at the root level of the crop and make any adjustments in real time for better irrigation control.

5. Multi-staged Heating Programs

With multi-stage heating, you can bring up the temperature in the greenhouse with multiple heat sources and in stages. The name “stage” controller has an origin from the ability to stage the heating controls in multiple stages. Stage controllers bring two benefits to basic temperature control: an automatic sequence of operation, and remote sensing and monitoring.

 A single stage controller takes the place of several thermostats. Stage controls use a single sensor element to control both heating and cooling functions in a greenhouse zone. That sensor can be located among the plants while the controller can be located more conveniently and safely outside the plant environment for the grower to monitor and change input trigger values.

 These controllers divide the actions of the greenhouse heating and cooling equipment into stages, called a sequence of operation. A typical example would be the following six-stage temperature control system. Half of the unit heaters are turned on at a temperature setting of 60 degrees F. (16°C) and in the event that these cannot supply the required heat, the remainder heaters are turned on at 58 degrees F. (14°C).

Use of Solar Tunnel Dryer leads to beneficial

Solar Tunnel Dryer is a technology that is non-polluting and economical. Fruits, vegetables, spices can be dried in the solar tunnel dryer.

In our country, only 2 to 3 percent of the agricultural production is used. Due to the drying technique, the loss of the farmer may be reduced by 2 to 3 percent. To maintain sustainability, quality goods must be dried in the same way. Without using mineral fuel for non-conventional energy, the environment will not be contaminated by the environment. Due to the drying of the commodities properly, the cost of an agricultural product also increases. You have enough sunlight to be used for the drying process.

6 of the Most Advanced Agricultural Technologies Employed Today:

Farmers have always been innovators. Sometimes you’re out in the middle of nowhere and need to make an unexpected repair, but you don’t have the right tools. Not a problem for a farmer. In a pinch, you can make something else work for you 9 times out of 10.
Farmers are also great at adopting new technology. Nowadays tools on many farms and ranches are very sophisticated. From tractors that drive themselves to cows that text, the modern farmer’s toolbox contains a host of cool toys.

Here are 6 of the most advanced agricultural technologies employed today:

1. Tractors on autopilot
Thanks to GPS tractors, combines, sprayers and more can accurately drive themselves through the field. After the user has told the onboard computer system how wide a path a given piece of equipment will cover he will drive a short distance setting A & B points to make a line. Then the GPS system will have a track to follow and it extrapolates that line into parallel lines set apart by the width of the tool in use.

2. Swath control and variable rate technology
Building on GPS technology is swath control and VRT. This is where guidance really begins to show a return on investment. Swath control is just what it sounds like. The farmer is controlling the size of the swath a given piece of equipment takes through the field. This video is a great visual representation of how swath control works.

The savings come from using fewer inputs like seed, fertilizer, herbicides, etc. Since the size and shapes of fields are irregular you are bound to overlap to some extent in every application. Thanks to GPS mapping the equipment in the field already knows where it has been. Swath control shuts off sections of the applicator as it enters the overlap area, saving the farmer from applying twice the inputs on the same piece of ground.

3. Your tractor is calling
Telematics is being touted as the next big thing in ag. This technology allows equipment to talk to farmers, equipment dealers, and even other equipment. Imagine you have a problem in the field and have to stop working. With telematics, your dealer can access the onboard diagnostic system of your tractor. Depending on the problem they might be able to fix your equipment right from the dealer. No waiting on a mechanic to drive out to wherever you might be. You’re back to work, and the dealer saved a trip too. Farmers will be able to keep track of what field equipment is in, fuel consumption, operating hours, and much more. Personally, I’ve noticed on our farm as we become more technologically advanced our downtime is often caused by electrical, software, or hardware problems as opposed to mechanical.

4. Your cow is calling too
And it’s not saying “Moo!” Collars developed for livestock are helping producers keep track of their herds. Sensors in the collar send information to a rancher’s smartphone giving the rancher a heads up on where a cow might be, or maybe she’s in some sort of distress, or maybe just in the mood for some mating. I suppose you could say it’s kind of like telematics for cows!
RFID tags are also a handy device for livestock management. The information kept on a tag helps producers keep track of individual animals, speeding up and making record keeping more precise. I recently read about RFID tags placed into hay as it is baled. Data such as moisture and weight can be stored in the tag to be scanned later.

5. Irrigate via smartphone
Mobile tech is playing a big role in monitoring and controlling crop irrigation systems. With the right equipment, a farmer can control his irrigation systems from a phone or computer instead of driving to each field. Moisture sensors on the ground are able to communicate information about the level of moisture present at certain depths in the soil. This increased flexibility allows for more precise control of water and other inputs like fertilizer that are applied by irrigation pivots. Farmers can also combine this with other techs like VRT mentioned earlier to control the rate of water applied. It’s all about more effective and efficient use of resources. I read a magazine article recently where a farmer stated that because of these technologies his total water usage is now less than what he was wasting previously.

6. Sensing how your crop is feeling
Crop sensors. This is taking variable rate technology to the next level. Instead of making a prescription fertilizer map for a field before you go out to apply it, crop sensors tell application equipment how much to apply in real time. Optical sensors are able to see how much fertilizer a plant may need based on the amount of light reflected back to the sensor. I haven’t seen one of these systems in operation yet, but I’m keeping a close eye on them. It’s fairly new and pretty expensive, but I see huge potential here. Crop sensors are going to help farmers apply fertilizer in a very effective manner, maximizing uptake and reducing potential leaching and runoff into groundwater.

The Exact Time of Irrigation can Come From The Sensor

By measuring the thickness of the leaf with the help of a plant-based sensor and the ability to store the electrical charge of the device (common electrical power), it can be checked when the exact requirement of the water is required. To measure this accurately, Penn State University researcher Amin Afzal has developed this sensor. So at the same time, the thickness of the leaf and the power of the electric power can be measured at the same time. This research has been published in the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engines Research.
 It is difficult to keep the water under constant dry inspection in dry areas or dry areas. Considering the quantity of soil moisture in conventional method or the amount of water evaporator from the soil and the soil, the timing of irrigation is decided. But there are problems with it. The sensor has been developed to overcome it. Due to this new technology, there is a need for water to plant. It is possible to irrigate the required time. Alternatively, the use of water increases efficiency.

Such amendment
This experiment is done in the tomato crop planted in organic soil in the growth chamber. For this, a constant temperature is kept for 11 days. Sensors were measured to measure the volume of the soil. Water management was done in the first three days so that soil moisture content is high. After that stopped giving water for eighteen days.

6 pages of tomato seedlings coming directly to the light were selected. The signals are placed on the leaves leaving the main vein and part of the stomach. The entries were taken every five minutes.

Found Conclusions
The amount of soil moisture is observed for the maximum level and the change in the page at the minimum level necessary for the tree's survival (as it is called the wilting point). It did not find any significant changes.
When the soil moisture content is below the welding point, there are significant changes in the thickness of the leaf.
 In the last two days of the experiment, the thickness of the land reached up to 5% till the thickness of the page was stable.
Individual power shows the ability to store the electrical charge. Which remains almost constant at least in the darkest price. In the light, it means that it grew rapidly during the day. This means that the common electrical power of the page shows the function of photosynthesis.
When the amount of soil moisture is below the welding point, the fluctuations in daily electrical power consumption are decreasing.
When the level of soil humidity dropped below 11%, the fluctuation in the common power stopped altogether. In essence, the impact of water stress on common electrical power is reflected in photosynthesis.
These sensors work directly in plant tissues. If more research is done in future, the use of this sensor will improve the irrigation water use efficiency. This research received the first prize in the College of Agricultural Sciences as well as the Springboard competition and received a grant of 7500 donors for developing this concept.

The sensor works like this
Leaves increase due to the availability of water, which means that thickness of the leaves increases, due to water shortage or dehydration. There is a complex process behind the relation between the page's electrical capacitance and water quality. Afzal says that
The difference in the electrical content of the leaves also changes if the water conditions and surrounding light differ. This means that the thickness of the page and analysis of the diversity of the electrical commonplace shows the state of water.
The sensor will send the exact information of the plant water to the central unit of the field. Therefore, it will be able to know the timing of watering the crop. The sensor, the central unit, and the irrigation systems run wirelessly or through the battery.
This system can be run through a smartphone app
