Application of RFID in agricultural seed quality tracking system

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) has many perfect features such as completely non-contact, high recognition rate, bulk-storage memory, securely access and easily be integrated with existing management information system, etc. It has widely been applied in many fields especially in logistics and product quality tracking systems. The research on the application of RFID in agricultural seed quality management was studied in this paper, which included the cases from the seed´s cultivation, storage, transportation to it´s quality supervision by related enforcement and supervision departments, even to quality confirmation and plant guide for the last end user - farmer, also analyzed several key technologies for the using of RFID in seed quality tracking system, such as the function design, tag type choosing, frequency picking, protocol selecting, data security design, anti-collision technology planning etc. Finally, several valuable conclusions were achieved.
