Monitoreo y control de sistemas agrícolas utilizando Udoo Quad Core

Abstract

At the "Universidad Autónoma de Occidente" is made the design and im­ plementation of a monitoring and control system of main variables (temperature, relative humidity, carbon dioxide, oxygen and light intensity), for a mushroom crop located at :five stations which constitute the production process of the Pleurotus ostreatus mushroom. Two of the stations were implemented in the micropropagation laboratory, where the strains are prepared, incubated and the temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide and light intensity are mea­ sured, becoming notable the variation of magnitudes data: light intensity and carbon dioxide concentration. Toe three remaining workstations will be carried out in a greenhouse conformed by three sectors, from which data of the main variables will be obtained, and allow to determine the ideal conditions for the improvement of the quality and increase the production of the fungus. In addition, in one ofthe divisions, the control ofrelative humidity by automatic spraying will be de­ veloped, being the solar exposure different for each one of the sectors. Toe former, is executed through an embedded system used as a device for data acquisition and control, flexible according to future needs and easy implementation (Udoo Quad Core), all of this with the pur­ pose of technify the process of production for edible fungí and provide continuous information aboutthe entire planting, bran­ ching out into technological systems forthe improvement of agricultura! systems such as mushrooming
