Abstract A real-time environment
information acquisition
system is essential if models and vegetable-crop information are to be
integrated with a greenhouse management expert system for good decision
making. Our greenhouse management expert system has four functional
modules: (1) cultivation techniques, (2) pest and disease diagnosis and
prevention, (3) nutrient deficiency diagnosis and fertilisation, and
(4) environment control. The hardware and software of the environment
information acquisition system are incorporated into the expert system,
which also offers a multi-interface for sensors and is easily extended
and maintained. Implementation was accomplished with the whole system
to ensure its reliability and applicability for expert system, on-line
decision making. The results show that a dynamic integration of a
greenhouse management system and an environment information acquisition
system can supply sufficient information for good control strategies
and for decision-support.
