Abstract. The article studies the growth environment conditions of tea and puts forward a wireless intelligent monitoring system for plastic tea greenhouse. According to the environmental requirements of tea tree, this article firstly defines the environmental parameters for planting tea in the greenhouse, and then designs the hardware and software of the intelligent monitoring system of tea in the greenhouse, and finally concludes the characteristics of this system. Through the practical application in tea greenhouse, the system decreases the cost and workload of tea planting and improves the quality of tea so as to enhance the economic returns.

Introduction

Camellia sinensis (L.) belongs to evergreen plant in subtropics and mostly grows among forestry community in the evergreen broad leaf rainforest and monsoon forest. It grows under the forest canopy for long time and has formed the ecological habit of shade-humid-tolerance and diffused light hobby [1]. In order to meet the requirements of famous high-quality tea, tea tree is planted in plastic greenhouse in the north area of the Yangtze River in our country, especially in Shandong and Henan etc. The plastic tea greenhouse is a facility cultivation form to use plastic film covering the tea garden. It is a new type of cultivation techniques to make the picking time of tea earlier in winner and spring when the temperature is lower or in the tea area where is subject to damage of cold spell in later spring. The technique can shorten the winter dormancy time to make the tea tree sprout earlier, ∗

add the picking turn of tea leaf and boost the shoot growth so as to improve the tea leaf yield. In addition, the technique controls the growth of tea tree through creating the suitable environmental conditions. Therefore it can be used to plant the tea in saline-alkali soil and desert etc non-cultivable land which can greatly improve the resource utilization rate of land, water and light [2] so as to realize the high yield, high quality, high efficiency and sustainable development of agriculture. The greenhouse cultivation of tea has become one of the basic modes for tea cultivation in north area of the Yangtze River [3]. In
