Next, in step S520, the flow rate of the agricultural water flowing through the pipeline 202 of the cultivating area 200 from the sensor 210 installed in each cultivating area 200 is received in real time. In this case, if the current agricultural water flow rate of the cultivating area exceeds the maximum permissible flow rate at step S530, the controller controls the actuator control part 140 to reduce the discharge amount of the pump of the cultivation area 200, So that the flow rate can be controlled. Also, the alarm information can be provided to the manager.

FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a method for calculating a product rate in a smart crop management system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In this case, Can be considered. The product rate can be defined as a value calculated by considering at least one of the product price of the crop and the yield per unit area.

The schedule generating unit 120 receives the physical information and weather data information about the crops stored in the crop data storage unit 110 and the commodity price information from the market information data unit 130 to generate a plurality of cultivation plants (A), (B), (C), (D) and (E). The data table T stores information on the currently operating agricultural water supply pattern, daylight saving time, temperature, rainfall, total water supply amount, and other factors X and the calculated product rate information for each crop growing site .

The schedule generating unit 120 can calculate the contribution to each factor contributing to the improvement of the product rate from the crop data table (T) data. For example, regression analysis can be used to calculate the main factors contributing to the improvement of commodity rate. For example, the seasonal agricultural water supply pattern may be a function of rainfall, temperature, water supply, and other factor X. In this case, the contribution w1 of the factor X most contributing to the product rate and the contribution w2 (S610). Next, based on the water supply pattern of the maximum commodity rate cultivation area, the water supply pattern of the other cultivation areas (B, C, D, E) is applied with a large contribution factor (S620). Next, the crop data table T of the crop cultivation areas A, B, C, D, and E is updated at regular intervals, and the product rate is calculated and reflected based on the updated crop data table (S630). Through the repetition of this process, the product rate of a plurality of crop cultivation areas (A, B, C, D, and E) increases with time and the difference can be reduced.

7 is a diagram for explaining a method of calculating a product rate in consideration of an area in a smart crop management system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 7, the schedule generation unit 120 calculates a main factor for improving the product rate. First, a plurality of cultivated plants cultivating the same variety can be grouped by distance. Each of the plantation sites can transmit the crop-related physical information and the product information including the location information to the central management center 100 using the GPS information. In this case, the grouping is performed by grouping, for example, other cultivars (cultivating area 2, cultivating area 3) located within a predetermined distance d1 on the basis of the cultivating area 1 into A groups, For example, the cultivation areas (the cultivation area 4, the cultivation area 5, and the cultivation area 6) in other areas in the range of the distance d2 can be grouped into B groups and managed. That is, it is possible to sequentially manage grouping by distance based on the own cultivation area. When the cropping rate of the cultivation land 1 is to be improved, the schedule generating unit 120 first determines whether or not the crops stored in the cropping data storage unit 110 for the other cultivation sites (the cultivation area 2 and the cultivation area 3) It is possible to generate the crop data table T by receiving the goods price information from the physical information and the weather data information and the market information data unit 130. [

The data table (T) includes, for each crop cultivation area in the A group, information such as the currently operating agricultural water supply pattern, daylight hours, temperature, rainfall, total water supply amount and other factors X, And merchandise rate information. In the case of cultivars located in similar areas, since the probability of weather conditions and regional conditions are high, it is easy to calculate the main factor in which the difference of the product rate occurs. In this case, when the difference in the product rate among the cultivars in the A group is not within the predetermined size, the schedule generator 120 may refer to the product rate of the cultivars in the other B group. In this case, since the product rate of the other cultivating area (the cultivation area 2, the cultivation area 3) in the A group is not greatly different from the product rate of the cultivation area 1, the cultivation areas in the B group (Farmland 4, cultivation area 5, and cultivation area 6), physical information and weather data information about the crops stored in the crop data storage unit 110, and commodity price information from the market information data unit 130, (T) < / RTI > The data table T stores information on the currently operating agricultural water supply pattern, daylight saving time, temperature, rainfall, total water supply amount, and other factors X and the calculated product rate information for each crop growing site . Thereafter, the cultivation area 1 can be changed and reflected on the basis of the agricultural water supply schedule of the cultivation area having a large product rate in the manner described in Fig. Also, in the same manner, other cultivating areas can also group other cultivating areas based on a predetermined distance on the basis of their respective areas, and calculate the agricultural water supply schedule for improving the commodity rate.
