Abstract

To meet the climatic needs of plants, there is a growing interest in the development of methods to automatically and continuously detect the constraints on plants, and to use water and nutrients under greenhouse crops in a rational way. The objective of this work is consecrated to the development of a software for the control and supervision of climatic parameters under greenhouses by an automatic process using LabVIEW. The system carried out makes it possible to measure the various values of the physical sizes resulting from various sensors (temperature, humidity, illumination, content of CO2, moisture of the ground,…). In order to visualize in real time, the evolution of the various climatic parameters, a graphic interface of supervision was developed by using the programming language LabVIEW. The latter makes it possible to integrate functions of control such as the modification of the instructions and the control commands to maintain the conditions adapted to the culture under greenhouse. The installation of such a strategy must take account of the economy of the water resources, nutritive elements and electric power while making it possible to the farmers to increase their productions as well in quantity and in quality.
