This study was carried out to embody monitoring system of growing environments of fruit tree with Ubiquitous Sensor Network and to analyze various fruit qualities by the tree's vigor in the apple orchard located in Poonggi-eup, Yeongju-shi, Gyeongsangbukdo, Korea. The tree's vigor of apple trees was influenced to insolation, temperature, and humidity and it had influence on the weights, sugar contents and the quality(especially in mineral contents) of apples. The use of Ubiquitous Sensor Network will not only contribute to improve the quality of fruit by the offer of scientific fruit-cultivation method, but also to expand its application more and more.
