| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Crop growth and production largely depend on crop physio-ecological processes such as photosynthesis, of which information has remained unavailable in farming. I newly proposed “Internet of Plants (IoP)” which can be expected to enable visualization, sharing and functionalization of information of crop physio-ecological processes in crop fields and to produce big data challenges for the smart farming with possible supports of AI engines. A prototype of IoP was built to visualize and share information of crop physio-ecological processes in cooperation with mechanistic physio-ecological models and meteorological information. Furthermore, relationships between physio-ecological processes and crop growth were visualized and analyzed based on a big amount of past data stored in a regional agricultural research center. These enabled to produce a fundamental algorithm for the functionalization of information of crop physio-ecological processes on IoP.
