Strawberry develop well when applying new technology.

Leisurely like grow strawberries

No need to work hard to care for and fertilize, strawberry farmers can fully automatic control by IoT system. This is a product of CloudFERMI Co., Ltd., 425/38 Nguyen Dinh Chieu, F5, District3, Ho Chi Minh City, which has just been displayed and introduced at Techmart Agriculture and Post-Harvest Technology in 2022, organized by direct combination. online.

KS Le Xuan Huy said, IoT (Internet of Things) can be understood to link physical devices together using the Internet, thereby collecting and sharing data with each other. Human IoT applications can do things that require very high accuracy and computation, storing and providing information continuously without the need for frequent human intervention. With the application of IoT technology to agriculture, farmers have been able to build a farm with full automation.

In order to improve productivity, quality as well as save labor in strawberry farming and production costs, it is necessary to apply automation technologies such as IoT to cultivation.

Unlike the plants grown in the ground, strawberry and tomato plants grown on the substrate are very sensitive to the rhizosphere environment, the roots will not develop well when the EC, pH in the medium is too high or too low. If the amount of fertilizer and water is not closely monitored, the tree is very susceptible to root burn and leaf burn, which greatly affects the crop’s results.

With just a smartphone, farmers can observe the whole farm. Garden activities such as watering, fertilizing, adjusting temperature, humidity, ventilation, lighting… can all be done automatically and manipulated right on the phone without going to the garden.

With an automatic system, the water and electricity used are also calculated to be most suitable for the plants, so there will be no waste like manual irrigation. In addition, the system can also reuse the water source to serve other purposes in the garden.

The system has a temperature controller, monitoring solution, automatic control, smart cThings IoT for strawberry growers, which will help garden owners closely monitor strawberry garden temperature, soil and air humidity, intensity Light level and lighting time in the garden, helping to self-water the strawberry garden when the soil moisture falls below the allowable threshold.

In addition, the solution also allows monitoring of pH, if below a certain threshold, self-watering solution to stabilize pH or send warning; Monitor EC, if it drops to a certain threshold, then irrigate automatically. At the same time, monitor the rain to turn on the acid-neutralizing irrigation pump to prevent pests, or turn on the pump remotely, timer…

The temperature and humidity monitoring and control device has a flexible timer, temperature, and humidity mechanism that can be monitored and controlled remotely via the Internet using an application on the phone.

CloudFERMI’s solution is applied by many Dalat strawberry growers, helping growers to control humidity, temperature, pH… for quick and timely handling, bringing high economic efficiency to farmers. camp.

Increase investment in technology, reduce fertilizer costs

Dr. Le Minh Hung (Director – Agricultural Electromechanical Sub-Institute and Post-Harvest Technology) said that, with the modern agricultural model, the application of IoT in agriculture is a global trend. IoT not only helps to increase productivity and quality, reduce costs and resources, but also can collect, transform data, aggregate and analyze statistics.

At present, agricultural land is being planned to invest in projects, exploit natural resources, industrial parks, etc. The area of ​​agricultural land is decreasing day by day.

Simultaneously, the world’s demand for food is increasing. Land is increasingly going down due to improper farming techniques, lack of science, plus climate change.

The application of IoT in agriculture was born to help farmers control and monitor products and farming conditions and conditions in real time. IoT in agriculture collects information, data and predicts problems such as diseases, plant growth, etc.

Let farmers make timely decisions. Applying IoT to agriculture saves more time and labor through automation. Like watering plants, fertilizing, automatic harvesting robots…

Greenhouse and hydroponic crop and vegetable growing models were born based on IoT in agriculture to promptly supply the market with short-term fruit and vegetable products such as lettuce, water spinach, strawberries. …
