▣ A Intelligent Subtropical Greenhouse System
■ Background Overview
The subtropical climate characteristics include high temperature, rainy and high sunshine, the high summer temperature, serious insect pests, and plant diseases. It make difficulties on certain agriculture like berries.
■ Technology Features
• According to the climatic conditions required for planting strawberry, the innovative concept proposed is a strawberry three-dimensional cultivation system with A-type structure, which can adjust the strawberry production period and extend the strawberry harvest season
• This technology can identify the problems of cross-infection of insect pests and plant diseases. It can effectively reduce the construction time by about 20% and reduce the amount of chemicals used by more than 50% with the modular design
■ Benefits
• The monitoring system of microenvironment in the greenhouse can continuously record data and establish a composite control strategy according to the measurement results
• The greenhouse cloud data transmission system developed combines the climate data and crop physiological conditions in the database to provide best planting conditions for crops
▣ A Container Farming System
■ Background Overview
The output value of Taiwan black fungus in 2019 is about 1.2 billion NT dollars, and the traditional semienvironmental control cultivation method of mushroom is facing difficulties such as climate warming, strain weakening and yield reducing.
■ Technology Features
• The technology introduces modular environmental control cultivation system in containers and conducts a mass production trial with Taiwan black fungus. The system shorten the production cycles, stabilize the production yield, regularly identify excellent mushroom species and develop a strain quality determination technology to solve the problem of strain weakening
• Special-designed basket technology for black fungus mushroom is used to overcome the requirement of different sizes of mushroom baskets after mushroom emergence. The cultivation baskets with elastic
deformation design is an important key for mushroom cultivation automation
■ Benefits
The key technologies of black fungus container cultivation production system could shorten the cultivation cycle, reduce labor time costs, and integrate the wireless monitoring system for the mushroom
environment. The system optimizes the cultivation process with environmental control IOT technology to improve the mushroom yield and reduce labor cost.
