PLANT ORIENTED CONTROL SYSTEM ABSTRACT A system for controlling environmental conditions including irrigation or misting in greenhouses having a plurality of crop beds within one greenhouse enclosure arranged into a plurality of sense zones and a plurality of control zones comprises a plurality of sensors stationed over crop beds within each sense zone comprising an aspirated enclosure and means therein for generating analog electrical signals indicative of wet bulb and dry bulb temperatures and also means for generating an analog electrical signal indicative of incident light over the bed and a microcomputer. The microcomputer is programmed with a task for inputting digital data from the input section indicative of wet bulb and dry bulb temperatures and for calculating the moisture content of the atmosphere over each bed and for inputting digital data from the input section indicative of light intensity; a task for measuring a parameter indicative of physiological crop age; a task for establishing a time interval between supply of water based upon the gathered data; and a task for between about sunrise and sunset at the established interval initiating electromechanical action for supplying water to the crop bed on multiple occasions during the day and for a preselected period after sunset supplying water at fixed intervals.
