The invention belongs to the technical field of agricultural plant protection, and specifically relates to an on-line measuring method for a mixing concentration field of a plant protection machine. The method employs a laser to irradiate a laser light, forms a sheet planar laser through a sheet light forming member, excites a mixing solution with a fluorescent tracer agent, and employs a CCD camera to obtain fluorescent images. A pesticide and the fluorescent tracer agent are mixed in to an original solution according to a fixed proportion. A uniform mixed solution is calibrated by diluting the original solution by different times. A mapping relationship between the mixing concentration and fluorescent grayscale values is established by combining curves. In real measurement, fluorescent grayscale images of acquiring dynamic mixing liquid are acquired in time and the concentration field of a mixing liquid is inverted through the image grayscale distribution.
