The main reason for applying Greenhouse Monitoring and Control System (GMCS) in greenhouses is to achieve optimal growing environment. Because of its complexity, excessive control in greenhouses can adversely affect financial feasibility of the growing crops. We need an optimal control to accomplish these complicated objectives, including low emissions and reduced production costs. This paper describes one practical approach to the real-time control system in a greenhouse. Control system cyclically reads the data from the sensors and implements appropriate response on the actuator, based on required greenhouse conditions. Most challenging is the design of the control algorithm for this kind of process, due to complexity of influential greenhouse variables. Green house agriculture is a combination of integrated information and production-based farming system that is designed to increase long term site-specific farm production efficiency and profitability while minimizing unintended effects on greenhouse environment. It requires intensive sensing of the climate conditions at ground level and communication of data to the central control room. Greenhouse is the advanced facility available in which we can control the climate to increase plant growth and avoid the effect of season changes on the plants.
