Abstract
More and more crops are grown in greenhouses, and crop growth status monitoring is equally important as field-grown crops. An automation system based-on multi-spectral imaging and mobile environmental factor sensing has been developed and operated. To obtain necessary spectral image information of seedling growth status on greenhouse benches, a series of image processing procedures was developed. The study also explored the applications of the radio frequency identification (RFID) system to construct a traceability system for seedling production in greenhouse. Days of seedlings growth can be calculated estimating the PLAI of the plant-oriented multi-spectral images with R2 = 0.989. Appropriate irrigation level could be estimated using different indices with environmental factors. Greenhouse cultivation is a site-specific management illustrated by precision integration.
