The invention discloses a crop growth information monitoring system and method based on internet of things. The system comprises an information perception system, a wireless transmission system and anintelligent management system, wherein the information perception system includes a soil moisture content monitoring module, a plant disease and insect pest monitoring module, a crop nutrition statemonitoring module, a weed monitoring module and a crop condition monitoring module. After crop planting, relevant information and threshold values of a crop growth environment are set through an intelligent management system interface, the soil moisture content, diseases and insect pests, nutritional status, weed growth and growth vigor information of growing crops are acquired through the perception system in real time and are sent to a server for data storage, analysis and display, if the information exceed threshold values, workers are remind of corresponding processing, plants are helped to accurately judge the crop growth conditions, real-time effective decision information is provided for accurate operation, the problem is solved that the crop growth conditions in planting field pieces need to be checked regularly in traditional planting process and accordingly the labor intensity is high, the labor cost is reduced, and the operating efficiency and accuracy are improved.
