Intelligence and automation have become the mainstream trends in the development of all industries. The agricultural sector is no exception. The emergence of the automatic monitoring system for the ecological conditions of seedlings has brought revolutionary changes to agricultural production. Among them, the plant growth camera, as the core component of this system, is playing an increasingly important role in agricultural production and ecological environment monitoring with its unique advantages.

The WX-MQ2 seedling ecological automatic monitoring system is a high-tech product integrating modern information technology, Internet of Things technology and intelligent analysis algorithms. It provides scientific and precise management decision-making basis for agricultural production by conducting real-time monitoring and analysis of the farmland environment, crop growth conditions, etc. The emergence of this system not only enhances the efficiency and quality of agricultural production, but also promotes the development process of agricultural modernization.

The automatic monitoring system for seedling conditions and ecology mainly consists of a sensor network, a data acquisition and processing center, plant growth cameras, and intelligent analysis software, etc. The sensor network is responsible for real-time monitoring of environmental parameters in farmland, such as temperature, humidity, light, etc. The data acquisition and processing center is responsible for collecting and processing these parameters to form intuitive monitoring reports. The plant growth camera is responsible for capturing the growth images of crops and providing image data support for intelligent analysis software. Through the algorithm processing of intelligent analysis software, the system can achieve precise assessment of the growth status of crops, providing a scientific basis for agricultural production.

The application of plant growth cameras in the agricultural field is mainly reflected in two aspects: crop growth monitoring and early warning of pests and diseases. By capturing the growth images of crops, the camera can monitor the growth status of the crops in real time, including key indicators such as plant height, leaf area, and fruit size. These data provide agricultural producers with intuitive information on crop growth, which helps them adjust management measures in a timely manner and increase the yield and quality of crops. Meanwhile, the camera can also achieve precise early warning of pests and diseases through image recognition technology. Once signs of pests and diseases are detected, the system can immediately issue an alarm to remind producers to take control measures to prevent the spread and proliferation of pests and diseases.
