Field information collection system for characteristic and tropical farming based on RFID

Tropical agriculture in Hainan is relatively lagged behind with low level of productive forces and technology, and mainly depends on manpower. What is more, manufacturing management is non-standard. So the reputation of product may be influenced. These may also harm the interests of consumers. In order to solve the problems, RFID technology was used to develop tropical agriculture, combining with sensor technology, virtual instrument (LabVIEW) technology and microcontroller technologies. The information of environmental and crops property can be acquired in process of tropical agriculture production and the data are stored to RFID tags in binary code. The eventual aim is to reach high efficiency management and high quality in agriculture production, and retrace the production in agricultural products supply chain by RFID. The system is verified feasible through an experimental study on identifying information of RFID tags on Qiongzhong green orange.
