Abstract:

    The objective of this study is to establish an automated fertigation and remote monitoring control system for anthurium flowers.  With purposes to enhance quality of products, to reduce labor requirement and production management cost, and to upgrade competition ability of the industry, the developed system is expected to help the proprietors of anthurium cultivation fulfill automated fertigation and real-time monitoring control at a far away place.  Based on an automated fertigation controller and an internet camera with a speed dome, the established system could transmit information and video images through a serial device server and a web cam server respectively to internet network, thus facilitating the automated fertigation, real-time video monitoring and control of anthurium cultivation remotely.  Results from tests proved that the developed system behaves well and meets the proposed goal.  It could be utilized in automated fertigation and remote monitoring management for not only anthurium, but also other flowers and high value crops.
