Press phone keypad, famers can check crops' growing status and control the ventilation, irrigation and micro jet in the greenhouse. A famer said excitedly, €since new technology is applied, we can use cell phone to control the light, temperature and humidity in the greenhouse at home. It is very convenient. You see, crops in this greenhouse are obviously bigger€. This is a flexible application of IOT technology on agriculture.

Sensors observe the crops.

It is an IOT application case developed for a western farm by a famous IOT developing company€" Nanjing IOT Sensor Technology Co., Ltd (www. wulian. cc). This farm has about 30 standard greenhouses, and about 40 different types of sensors including temperature, humidity, video and light are installed in it. Use sensors to collect data and the system will draw an obvious value space distribution diagram in real time. Then transmit data through IOT module, and by using computer and cell phone, the operator can know and manage the vegetables in real time.

Relevant staff in Marketing Department of Yuantuo says that we should not sniff at these sensors. They can play very important roles, for example, carbon dioxide sensor can monitor the artificial environment for crop growing to enhance photosynthesis; size sensor, weight sensor and color sensor can monitor the object's size, weight and color respectively to identify crops' maturity and decide the collecting time. You can also use ultrasound sensor volume and audio sensor to kill rats and pests; use flow sensor and computer system auto control the irrigation.

The reporter learned that IOT concept is now very popular. Jiangsu, Shanghai and Zhejiang, etc are now promoting IOT applications in multiple fields involving industrial monitoring, intelligent home, intelligent transportation and food safety. And companies like HIK vision and Yuantuo which are specializing in IOT technology developing are now accelerating the promotion of its application on agriculture.

China Mobile also launch €agricultural IOT€ concept, which uses sensing devices and IOT modules to achieve some specific applications such as crop standardized producing monitoring, auto irrigation, wireless water quality monitoring of freshwater aquaculture, etc. it has been put into large-scale application.

Analysis thinks that with the rapid spread of the Internet, famer netizens are becoming more and more. By last year, the number of famer netizens has been over 0.1 billion, up 62% annually which is far beyond the one in towns. Currently, China Mobile agricultural information services over 50 million people including ten thousands of enterprises and large raisers. Our country should accelerate the establishment of IOT technology standard system, breakthrough of the core technology and scale application in agriculture and industry
