Clear identification of the effects of conservation tillage (CT) technology on soil physical properties can provide important basis for the extension and application of this technology. According to the characteristic of conservation tillage farming system, this study was established the conservation tillage effect monitoring system based on Geographic Positioning Remote Sensing (GPRS) and Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). The aim is to accurately monitor the effects of implementing conservation tillage farming system under different conditions in real time and provide reliable and complete data for the follow-up. In this study, the remote data acquisition system was achieved through designing of the function, the conservation tillage effect monitoring software was designed using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 (NET Framework4.0) in computer programming (C#) language. According to the analyses result of system reliability and field test, the conservation tillage effect monitoring system can gather, transmit, display and store the information of soil temperature and humidity and field video in a remote and real-time way which also can analyze the data and draw graphics. This system is useful, efficient, reliable and stable for better crop production through CT effect monitoring system.
