Development of environmental controlling techniques for protected horticulture
Controlling the environment (air temperature, humidity, CO2 concentration, light environment) in greenhouses is important for the production of vegetables. Recently, the plant factory, in which integrated environmental control is carried out, has been attracting attention, and it is necessary to develop new environmental controlling technique continuously. We are developing environmental controlling technique using a Ubiquitous Environmental Controlling System (UECS), and a method for the utilization of information and communication technology for horticultural production.
