This paper is on the implementation of a system for automatically monitoring window farm hydroponics based on Arduino (utilizing Arduino's open source code) emerging as the icon of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. A window farm, which means window-type hydroponics, is offered as an alternative to fulfill the desires of people who want to grow plants aside from the busy daily life in the city. The system proposed in this paper was developed to automatically monitor a window farm hydroponics cultivation environment using the Arduino UNO board, a four-charmel motor shield, temperature and humidity sensors, illumination sensors, and a real-time clock module. Modules for hydroponics have been developed in various forms, but power consumption is high because most of them use general power and motors. Since it is not a system that is monitored automatically, there is a disadvantage in that an administrator always has to manage its operational state. The system is equipped with a water supply that is most suitable for a plant growth environment by utilizing temperature, humidity, and light sensors, which function as Internet of Things sensors. In addition, the real-time clock module can be used to provide a more appropriate water supply. The system was implemented with sketch code in a Linux environment using Raspberry Pi 3 and Arduino UNO.

최근 근권의 산소부족 문제를 근본적으로 해결할 수 있는 수경능법으로서 분무경에 관한 관심은 매우 높으며 분무경의 우수성이 실증적으로 제시되고 있으나 분무경의 경우 고압을 필요로 하므로 장치가 복잡해지거나 엽체류의 경우 분무노즐과의 거리에 따라 생장이 균일하지 않는 문제점을 갖고 있으므로 분무경과 같이 근권산소 문제를 근본적으로 해결하는 효과를 가지면서도 취급 및 관리가 편리한 수경시스템의 개발이 절실히 요구되고 있다. (중략)

It is throwing the spotlight on the cultivation crops about high quality crops and productivity improvement per unit area because of rapid climate change caused by global warming. Therefore, we propose a water culture management of circulation nutrient method control system applies to solar tracking method not using traditional method of deep flow technique and artificial light source. We design it in the form of the circulation nutrient method in waterway of a certain amount of nutrient solution and water flowed into the way of circular. In addition, we design a multistage structure in pyramid shape which be possible continuous photosynthesis action to crops of water culture bottom part. Also, solar tracking method is designed five sensor method of center hole sensor method for tracking shadow of solar light not using traditional two hole, four hole sensor method. Finally, through the water culture device applies to solar light tracking method was not introduced in existing study yet, we can reduce growth speed of crops which be possible continuous photosynthesis action to crops. Moreover, We can expect high productivity of per unit area which be possible all crops can be offered growth environment of same type by using form of pyramid shape of multistage structure without top or bottom part.

This study aimed to compare the nutrient uptake rate, growth and yield of strawberry grown under the aquaponic and hydroponic systems in a plant factory. For aquaculture, 12 of fish (Cyprinus carpio cv. Koi) were raised in an aquaponics tank (W 0.7 m × L 1.5 m × H 0.45 m, 472.5 L) filled with 367.5L of water at a density of 5.44 kg·m^-3. The 30 seedlings of strawberry were planted in ports filled with perlite substrate and then were placed on the bed (W 0.7 m × L 1.5 m × H 0.22 m) at the top of the aquaponics system, and the 30 seedlings were planted in net-pots and then placed on the holes of acrylic plates (140 cm × 60 cm, Ø80 mm) on the bed (W 0.7 m × L 1.5 m × H 0.22 m) at the deep flow technique (DFT)- hydroponics. The pH and EC of the aquaponic solution was ranged from 4.3 to 6.9 and 0.32 to 1.14 dS·m^-1, respectively, while those of hydroponics were ranged from 5.1 to 7.5 and 1.0-1.8 dS·m^-1, respectively. The NO₃-N and NH₄-N concentration of the aquaponic solution were higher about 3.6 and 2.2 me·L^-1 than those of the standard hydroponic solution for strawberry cultivation. The P, Ca, Mg, and S ions in the aquaponic solution were also higher about 0.76, 3.1, 0.8, and 0.9 me·L^-1 than those of standard hydroponic solution, respectively, while the K and Fe were lower about 0.8 me·L^-1 and 0.5 mg·L^-1, respectively. The mineral contents of the strawberry leaves grown on aquaponics did not differ from that of hydroponics, and K content in the leaves were in an appropriate range. Uptake rates of T-N and P between the 58 and 98 days after transplant (DAT) were 1.5 and 1.9-fold higher in the aquaponics than those of hydroponics, respectively with no significant difference in the uptake rate of K. The crown diameter, plant height, and leaf length and width in the 98 DAT were significantly higher in aquaponics. The number of fruits per plant was significantly higher in aquaponics than those in hydroponics, and the fresh and dry weights of fruit and length and width of fruit were significantly higher in hydroponics. The results suggest that plants in aquaponics continuously utilize fertilizer components of solid particles from fish and feed wastes.

Since the late 1920's possibility of commercial hydroponics was testified practically. Hydroponics is used as environmentally friendly agriculture production system recently with high effectiveness. Now that existing irrigation control systems such as time control or solar radiation control cannot satisfy stable water content in root substrates, the needs for new irrigation system keep increasing. In this paper, we proposed environmentally friendly automatic irrigation management system by employing automation system based on electronic control system, which could solve problems based on manual irrigation management system. In addition, it suggested to be applied to any crops and will be able to overcome existing limit in irrigation by measuring the water content of root substrate in realtime.

The purpose of this paper is to build a system applicable to floriculture, hydroponics and vinyl house agriculture by a development of remote control equipments using programmable logic controllers (PLC). Remote factory automation and home automation systems have been developed and used due to the rapid progress in the fields of information and automation; however, the systems are so expensive that their applications have not been feasible in agriculture. So we have developed simple modules for PLC to replace the expensive conventional systems. The developed systems have potentials to be applied to automation systems in agricultural industry. Technologies for motor control, microprocessor, PLC programming and wireless interface are developed and implemented in the form of application modules of our systems, and our system is applicable to the remote form automation of floriculture and hydroponics.

In this paper, we propose a thin-film hydroponic plant cultivator using HMI display and IoT technology. Existing plant cultivators were difficult to manage due to soil-based cultivation, and it was difficult to optimize environmental conditions due to the open cultivation environment. In addition, there are problems with plant cultivation as immediate control is difficult and growth of plants is delayed. To solve this problem, a cultivation environment was established by connecting the MCU and sensors, and the environment information could be checked and quickly controlled by linking with the HMI display. Additionally, a case was applied to minimize changes in environmental information. Implementation of a thin-film hydroponic cultivation system made soil management easier, improved functionality through operation and control, and made it easy to understand environmental information through the display. The effectiveness of rapid growth was confirmed through crop cultivation experiments in existing growers and hydroponic growers. Future research directions will include optimizing growth information by transmitting and storing cultivation environment information and linking and comparing growth information using vision cameras. It is expected that this will enable efficient and stable plant cultivation.

우리나라의 기상입지 특성상 여름철 온실 내에서 작물의 정상생육을 기대하는 것은 곤란하므로, 주년재배를 위한 여름철 온실내 환경의 호적화는 온실재배 당면의 연구과제라 할 것이다. 더우기 막대한 일사부하로 인하여 온실냉방은 경제적으로 불가능한 실정이므로 다른 방법을 강구해야 한다. 그런데 수경재배에 있어서는 비교적 근권부환경의 조절이 쉬우므로, 온실의 충분한 환기 및 차광과 더불어 양액의 냉각을 통하여 작물의 고온스트레스를 줄임으로써 안정생산을 가능하게 할 수 있을것으로 생각한다. (중략)
