ABSTRACT

Natural rubber is widely used in industry, national defense, traffic, medical and daily life, but during its growth process, its productivity is influenced by the soil, temperature and humidity badly. With the progress of science and technology, how to use the information system to informationize and intelligentize the tropical agriculture is an essential research content as well as to transfer the agriculture into a modern one. Zigbee has the advantages of low power consumption, flexible net combination, quickly setting and reliable working. This article has minutely designed the hardware structure of the natural monitoring system in which Zigbee wireless sensor network is used to collect and monitor the information of rubber plantation environment’s temperature and humidity. A system hardware circuit is also given in this article to meet the requirements of natural rubber monitoring.
