The software design of natural rubber plantation temperature and humidity monitoring system based on ZigBee

Abstract

The temperature and humidity of the climate affect forest of natural rubber latex yield enormously. Peasants need to control the temperature and humidity manually based on the weather forecast after growing the trees. It costs enormous human resources. Meanwhile the diseases caused by an unsuitable temperature or humidity cannot be foreseen. Aiming at monitoring the temperature, humidity and illumination intensity in the growing environment of a tropical crop---rubber tree, this article builds ZigBee wireless sensor network, and designs the software structure of this system based on fulfilling the hardware designing requirements. Combining Cluster tree algorithm in ZigBee network with AODVjr algorithm, this article enhances the utility of ZigBee wireless sensor network efficiently, and proves the effectiveness of Zig- Bee wireless sensor network technique in the tropical crops monitoring system. In order to realize the modern forestry management, the distribution of the temperature and humidity in the whole woods should be available to collect to minutely control the irrigation systems, insulation systems, etc. and then providing the best surroundings to guarantee a high quality. © Zhi-yang et al.
