[Objective] This study was to design an intelligent greenhouse real-time monitoring system based on the core technology of Internet of Things in order to meet the needs of agricultural informatization and intellectualization. [Method] Based on the application characteristics of Wireless Sensor Network （WSN）, the intelligent greenhouse monitoring system was designed. And for the incompleteness strategy of load balancing in the Low-Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy （LEACH）, a Real- time Threshold Routing Algorithm （RTRA） was proposed. [Result] The performance of network lifetime and network delay of RTRA were tested in MATLAB and found that, within the same testing environment, RTRA can save nodes energy consumption, prolong network lifetime, and had better real-time performance than LEACH. The al- gorithm satisfies the crops＇ requirements on real-time and energy efficiency in the greenhouse system. [Conclusion] For the good performance on real-time, the de- signed intelligent greenhouse real-time monitoring system laid the foundation for the research and development of agricultural informatization and intellectualization.
