Accurate monitoring of large-scale vegetable planting bases
（1） Project Background
A large vegetable planting base covers an area of thousands of acres and cultivates various vegetable varieties. The base manager found that frequent occurrence of pests and diseases, unstable yield, and other problems during vegetable growth were closely related to agricultural environmental factors. Therefore, it was decided to set up an agricultural environmental monitoring station.
（2） Monitoring Station Layout Plan
Monitoring point layout: Based on the terrain, distribution of planting areas, and types of vegetables in the base, 10 monitoring points have been evenly distributed within the base, covering different areas such as outdoor planting areas and greenhouse planting areas.
Monitoring parameter selection: Focus on monitoring parameters such as air temperature and humidity, soil temperature and humidity, light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration, wind speed and direction. These parameters directly affect physiological processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, and water evaporation in vegetables.
Equipment selection: Select high-precision, stable and reliable sensors, such as temperature and humidity sensors imported from Switzerland and light intensity sensors produced in the United States, to ensure the accuracy of monitoring data. At the same time, equipped with data collectors and transmission modules, real-time data collection and remote transmission can be achieved.
（3） Implementation effect
Disease and pest warning: By real-time monitoring of air temperature, humidity, and carbon dioxide concentration, combined with a model of the relationship between disease and pest occurrence and environmental factors, the risk of disease and pest occurrence can be predicted in advance. For example, when the air humidity continues to be high and the temperature is suitable, timely warnings are issued, and the base management personnel take preventive measures in advance, reducing the incidence of pests and diseases by more than 30%.
Precision irrigation and fertilization: Based on soil temperature and humidity data, accurately grasp the soil moisture status and achieve precise irrigation. At the same time, adjust the fertilization plan reasonably based on the growth stage of vegetables and soil nutrient content. Compared to before, irrigation water usage has decreased by 25%, fertilizer usage has decreased by 20%, and vegetable yield has increased by 15%.
Production management optimization: By monitoring parameters such as light intensity, wind speed, and direction, the planting density of vegetables and the opening and closing time of greenhouse films are reasonably arranged, optimizing the growth environment of vegetables and improving their quality and commodity rate.
（4） Experience summary
Scientific layout of monitoring points: It is necessary to fully consider factors such as the terrain, planting area, and crop types of the planting base, to ensure that the monitoring points can comprehensively and accurately reflect the environmental conditions of the entire base.
Reasonable selection of monitoring parameters: Based on the needs of vegetable growth and environmental factors, select key monitoring parameters to avoid blindly adding monitoring items and improve the pertinence and effectiveness of monitoring.
Data application and decision support: Establish a comprehensive data analysis and application system, combining monitoring data with vegetable growth models, pest and disease prediction models, etc., to provide scientific decision-making basis for production management.
