Abstract
The present invention relates to a device (500) configured to profile and control field conditions for plants grown in an environment. The device (500) is essentially comprised of at least one integrated sensor systems (10) configured to acquire data associated with the field conditions, and at least one feedback control system (20) for regulating the field conditions. The device (500) further comprises an inference unit configured for receiving and profiling the data from the integrated sensor systems (10); determining revised field conditions in accordance to the plants'"'"' requirements based on the data acquired from said integrated sensor system (10), and manipulating the feedback control system (20) in a feedback manner to regulate the field conditions in the environment into the revised state. In addition, the inference unit is in communication with the monitoring component and the controlling component via connections.
