Multichannel plant hydropenia monitoring system based on impedance measurement

Abstract

The invention relates to a multichannel plant hydropenia monitoring system based on impedance measurement. The system is a portable system comprising an electrode, a measuring lead, an impedance measuring unit, a USB communication and control unit and a personal computer, wherein the electrode adopts a metal sheet, is arranged at a plurality of parts of leaves and stems of a plant or inserted intosoil in a non-invasive way and connected to the impedance measuring unit by the single-core coaxial measuring lead; the impedance measuring unit comprises an impedance measuring module, a calibrationand measuring range selecting module and a channel selecting module and is supplied with power by a USB data line; and the USB communication and control unit realizes the communication between the impedance measuring unit and the personal computer. The system controls the switching-on and switching-off of a switch by an interface procedure on the personal computer, realizes the function of multichannel impedance measurement, acquires the change information of the impedance of a plurality of parts of the leaves and the stems of the plant and the soil along with water content and displays the hydropenia condition of the plant on the interface. The system can preset a time interval to carry out long-term monitoring so that the monitoring of the hydropenia condition of the plant is more portable.

Description

Technical field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of measurement, in particular to a multi-channel plant water shortage monitoring system based on impedance measurement.

Background technique

[0002] Water is the main component of plants. The water content of plants is generally 60-80%, and some can even reach more than 90%. Without water, there is no life. Water is a solvent for many substances. Minerals, oxygen, and carbon dioxide in the soil must be dissolved in water before they can be absorbed by plants and function in the body. Water can also maintain the tension of cells and tissues, and keep plant organs upright, so as to facilitate the normal progress of various metabolisms. Water is the raw material for photosynthesis to produce organic matter, and it also participates in many biochemical processes in plants as a reactant. In addition, due to the large heat capacity of water, when the temperature fluctuates violently, it can moderate the tem...
