These days, many people are interested in healthy eating. They want to buy organic fruits and organic vegetables for their wellbeing life or to grow the plants themselves. However, if you buy the organic fruits or vegetables carrying costs a lot of money, it would be difficult to bring the plants directly. In this paper, we propose the Smart Plant Growth Chamber to grow plants directly at home. Through proposed the Smart Plant Growth Chamber, users can grow the plants with minimum effort in optimized environment without need to know detailed information about to grow the plants. Also, users can feel fun of growing plants through online activities of the smart plant growth chamber, it is believed to contribute to a health eating.

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.

본 논문에서는 식물재배기에 유입되는 조도 정보를 자동 센싱하여 대상 식물의 생육에 적합한 목표조도와 비교과정을 거쳐 LED의 밝기를 지능적으로 제어하기 위한 상황인식기반의 식물재배용 LED 제어 시스템을 구현하고자 한다. 먼저 식물 생육 환경 모니터링을 위해 조도, 온도, 습도, CO2 등의 이기종 센서들을 ZigBee 기반의 통합센서 형태로 설계 및 제작하고, GUI기반의 모니터링 시스템을 구현하여 실시간으로 식물 생육 환경 정보를 수집한다. 데이터베이스에 저장되어 있는 재배대상식물의 표본데이터 중 광보상과 광포화 정보를 기준으로 상황에 따라 변화하는 외부 조도정보와 비교하여 LED 인공광의 밝기를 시스템에 의한 자율 처리에 의해 지능적으로 제어함으로써 불필요한 조명 에너지 소비를 절감하고자 한다.

우리나라에서의 대마는 마약류로 분류되어 기호용과 의료용 모두 법적인 제재를 받아왔으나 최근에 의료용 대마가 법적으로 허용이 되어 환자들에게 처방 받을 수 있게 되었다. 하지만 우리나라 사람들에게 대마는 환각성분을 가진 마약류로 깊이 인식되어 왔으며 의료용 대마에 대한 연구는 거의 전무한 실정이다. 노지재배에서 발생할 수 있는 범죄의 위험성, 자연교배에 의한 품질저하를 피할 수 있으며 재배조건(양액, 광조건, 광주기, 대기환경조성) 등을 제어할 수 있는 밀폐형 LED 식물공장은 의료용 대마 생산에 제일 적합한 모델이 될 수 있다. 식물체의 광합성은 가시광선 중 특정 파장 450nm 청색광과 660nm 적생광을 주로 이용하며 'LED (Light Emitting Diode) 발광다이오드'는 식물체의 광합성에 적합한 파장으로 광원을 조사할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 이러한 LED를 이용한 광합성은 식물체의 2차 대사물질 Anthocyanins, phenolic compounds 등의 향상과 생육에도 긍정적인 영향을 미치며 식물 뿐만 아니라 광합성을 하는 미세조류(micro algae)에서도 이용이 가능하며 해마토 코쿠스(Hematococcus)의 세포증식과 항산화물질 아스타잔틴(astaxathin)생산에 유용하게 쓰이고 있다. 최근 미국과 다른 나라에서도 기호용, 의료용 대마사업에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있으며 캐나다와 미국에서는 밀폐형 유리온실과 식물공장을 이용한 의료용 대마를 생산, 추출, 가공까지 하여 산업적인 영역을 넓히고 있는 실정이다. 특히, 실내재배에서는 광원이 필수적인 요소이며 식물생육에 선택적인 파장을 조사할 수 있는 LED와 재배조건을 정밀하게 제어할 수 있는 밀폐형 식물공장을 이용한 의료용 대마 생산에 대한 연구가 절실히 필요한 시점이다.

In this paper, we propose a system that can provide a environment for plant cultivation in connection with LED plant factories and enable users to participate in plant cultivation remotely to engage in personal hobbies. The proposed system can monitor the growth conditions of plants through various sensors and remotely adjust the cultivation environment required for plant growth through the Arduino system, so that users can feel the satisfaction of plant cultivation and harvesting as a hobby. On the other hand, we suggest a mutual benefit structure for plant factory and users by securing a certain amount of income source to factory, by paying the idle space to the individual online. This paper demonstrates the feasibility of the proposed system by making the prototype of the remote plant cultivation consignment system using the Arduino and Android application(App.), and contributes to popularize the LED plant factories and expand the business area in future.

This study was conducted to investigate growth and flowering of hydroponically-grown carnation as affected by substrate and planting date, Three substrates, coir, perlite, and coir＋perlite(1：1. v/v), and two planting dates. May 1 and September 1 were used. Plant height and stem diameter at harvesting time of cut flowers were greater for the September 1 planting than for the May 1 planting. The plants planted on May 1 produced flowers with weak stems and short stem lengths. In addition, flower weight and blossom width were gloater for the September 1 planting than for the Mar 1 planting. The planting date had no significant effect on the number of petals, The carnation planted on May 1 flowered 50 days earlier compared to those Planted on September 1. Plant height and number of petals were the greatest in the plot of coir substrate. The results indicated that for commercial production of cut carnations in a hydroponic system, planting on September 1 is better than May 1. In addition. the results confirm that coir is the superior substrate for the production of cut carnations in a hydroponic system compared to either Perlite or coir＋perlite mixture.

경수 용기재배는 뿌리분의 손상 없이 식재를 할 수 있어 이식 후 활착이 용이하고, 식재시기의 계절적 제약을 적게 받아 부적기 이식 시 하자를 현저히 줄일 수 있다. 용기재배 시 용기 내 토양온도는 토양의 물리화학반응과 식물의 생육 및 물과 양분의 흡수에 영향을 주는 중요한 토양환경요소의 하나이다. 목본성 식물 용기재배의 경우 제한된 근권부의 토양이 외부기온에 의해 불안정할 수 밖에 없다. 재배용기의 유형에 따른 지온의 변화를 측정한 결과 지중재배형의 용기가 단열성능이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 지상재배 방식의 용기 중에서는 Bag in Pot-루트 스커트 형의 용기가 단열성능이 큰 것으로 나타났으며, 이는 지중재배방식의 용기와 유사한 용기 내 지온 안정화 정도를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 향후 후속 연구에서는 본 연구를 토대로 디자인 개발된 용기의 시제품을 제작하여 테스트하고, 재배농가에 적용가능성을 검토하고자 한다.

This study was conducted to find the flowering and growth characteristics according to the different altitudes (plains and mid-mountain regions) and cultivation methods (field and plastic houses cultivation) of Elsholtzia splendens. Experimental regions located at 12 meters and 500 meters above sea level were selected for the plains and the mid-mountain, respectively, and the same method was applied for cultivation management by different altitudes and cultivation methods. In the mid-mountain region, flower bud emergence (2-3 days), flowering (9 days), and full bloom (6-7 days) stages of Elsholtzia splendens were earlier than in the plains, and field cultivation was earlier than plastic house cultivation. The plant height, the main stem diameter, and the number of branches tended to increase gradually after an initial rapid growth at 59 to 69 days after planting date. The days of duration of sunshine (less than 8 hours) from the rainy season (June 20) to the period when vegetative growth increases gradually (59 to 69 days after planting) was 22 to 29 days and 26 to 35 days in the plains and the mid-mountain regions respectively, and this period was estimated time of transition from vegetative growth to reproductive growth. The spikes growth of Elsholtzia splendens by cultivation altitudes was higher in the mid-mountain region than in the plains, and there were no statistically significant differences in growth characteristics except for the main stem diameter, the number of branches, and the dry matter. Also, the amount of flowering and growth was higher in the plastic house cultivation compared to the field cultivation. As a result, some differences in flowering amount were observed when cultivating Elsholtzia splendens for landscaping purposes, but it was considered possible to cultivate in both plains and mid-mountain regions. This study therefore provides ecological information for understanding the relationship between weather characteristics and growth of Elsholtzia splendens.
