Abstract

Problems involving agricultural know-how can be addressed with the use of IT. For example, IT can reduce the risk that know-how may be lost due to the increasing age of agricultural workers. Also valuable fruits which require sensitive environmental control can be monitored with IT. Data collection, collation and storage will enable us to convert tacit knowledge into formalized algorithms. We made a remote information sensing system using a sensor board made in cooperation with Renesas Solutions Corporation. Furthermore, we had installed our sensing system in a melon hothouse, in cooperation with the Prefectural Research Institute. We set up an interface enabling access to data and photographs using a browser. Using this interface, we expect that farmers will be able to transfer tacit knowledge into formalized information.
