Agricultural automation has become more and more important by environmental change. The automation demands the highest technology due to the ever changing various conditions in agriculture system. In the paper, semi-autonomous pesticide spray robot system has been developed for rose farming in the glass house. The robot is in autonomous mode during pesticide spraying process driven on pipe rail. The robot is manually driven while moving from a rail to the next rail. The drive platform and autonomous operation control system are developed based on IT fusion technology. The pesticide spray system is also developed with nozzles and booms for precision mist spray system. Experimental data of nozzle test is also included.

Technical efficiency of semiforcing watermelon growers is 0.8248 on average, and distributed between 0.6744 and 0.9268. The result showed that semiforcing watermelon growers had by 18% of technical inefficiency and could be assumed that increasing technical efficiency could induce watermelon production more increase. Consequently, if growers' technical efficiency were improved while other environments were constant, watermelon production could be increased. Following the results from the inefficiency effect model, all assumption coefficient such as growers age etc, are significant at 10% level. Estimate of dispersion parameter ${\gamma}$ is 0.89, which confirms those differences between practical output and frontier output were derived from the technical efficiencies among growers. Differences of production system between high and low level growers in production efficiency were showed at side altitude, ventilation and heat-retaining in section of facilities and automation, soil test and calcium application in section of environment management, transplant preparation and duration of pollination in section of crop management and shipment place, sorting degree and management record analysis in section of business management respectively. As a result of analyzing consulting data by using standard diagnosis table of watermelon cultivation under structure which cultivated on semi-forced watermelon growers, gap between high and low level growers was 7.0 points in facility automation section, 7.1 points in environment section, 8.8 points in crop management section and 13.6 points in business management section, respectively, which were the biggest one among them. In case of excluding information-related items from the evaluation index of business management section, changes of business achievement are to occur. Therefore, it is recommended for us to review the standard diagnostic table of watermelon cultivation under structure by dividing evaluation index of management section into management and information.

최근 농업 분야에 IT 기술이 결합되면서 농업자동화 시스템에 대해 많은 연구가 진행되고 있으며, 농작물의 생육환경을 자동으로 조절하는 시스템에 대한 연구도 이들 중 하나이다. 농작물의 병충해로 야기되는 피해를 방제하는 작업은 농민들의 미흡한 방제 효과에 대한 염려 때문에 수동방제나 반자동방제에 의해 수행되고 있다. 이러한 방식은 사람이 유해한 약물에 노출되거나 약제 과다 사용으로 인한 낭비 및 환경오염 등의 문제점이 있으므로 개선이 필요하다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 농약제조회사에서 제시하고 있는 권장 농약 살포량을 기준으로 경작면적에 따른 방제량을 계산하여 정량 방제를 가능하게 하는 자동화정량방제시스템을 개발하였다. 개발된 자동화정량방제시스템의 효율성을 확인하기 위해서 수동방제 및 반자동방제의 경우와 비교하여 실험하였다. 실험을 통해서 자동화된 시스템이 약제의 과다 사용을 줄일 수 있었으며, 수동방제에 버금가는 방제효과를 얻어 기존의 방제작업을 대체 할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.
