Trends of Intelligent Development of Facilities Agriculture in Developed Countries

Jun 24, 2021

  • Modern greenhouse

Modern greenhouse is the main manifestation of intelligent facility agriculture in the Netherlands, Britain, France, Germany, Japan and other countries. This kind of greenhouse can automatically control the indoor temperature, humidity, irrigation, ventilation, CO2 concentration and light. Each square meter greenhouse can produce 30-50kg of tomatoes, 40kg of cucumbers, or about 180 rose flowers, which is equivalent to an open field cultivation yield of 10 Times more.

  • Plant factory

Plant factory is currently the highest level of facility agriculture with the highest level of intelligence, and it is a highly specialized and modern facility agriculture developed after greenhouse cultivation. The difference between plant factories and greenhouse production is that they completely get rid of the constraints of natural and climatic conditions under the conditions of field production, apply modern advanced equipment, completely artificially control environmental conditions, and supply agricultural products in a balanced manner throughout the year.

At present, plant factories have developed rapidly in some developed countries, and have initially realized factory production of vegetables, edible fungi, and valuable flowers and trees. The internal environmental factors (such as temperature, humidity, light intensity, CO2 concentration, etc.) of the facilities have been adjusted and controlled from the past. Single-factor control develops toward the use of environment and computer multi-factor dynamic control system, which realizes the intelligentization of operations such as seeding, nursery, planting, management, harvesting, packaging, and transportation.
