A Study on the Fully Controlled Crop Cultivation System for the Development of Medicinal Crop Cultivation Model

Abstract:

The fully controlled crop cultivation system suggested in this study is intended to develop the cultivation model for stable production of medicinal crops under enclosed environment not affected by natural settings. In this paper, the features of the fully controlled crop cultivation system for detecting optimum conditions of medicinal crop cultivation are explored and technical components to be considered upon developing the system are reviewed.
