Agricultural Environmental Monitoring: A WSN Perspective

Agricultural Environmental Monitoring: A WSN Perspective

In this article, we develop a system based on WSN platform to measure the data of crop parameters for the agriculturists aimed to enhance the quality and quality of the crops. The proposed system will minimize the exhaustive field visits of the farmers. This system will facilitate the precision agri...

TinyOS I. INTRODUCTION Modern agriculture system needs electronic devices and technologies that can improve the production efficiency
production quality
post-harvest processes
and would be able to reduce environmental impacts. Automation in agriculture has brought about a fundamental role to what is now known as smart agriculture [7] (also known as precision agriculture) [1
2]. Agriculture is the cultivation of animals as well as humans
although plants and other life forms for food and to make them source
fiber
biofuel
apart from that medical and other products used to put up and to enlarge human life [1]. The main source of livelihood of mankind is agriculture. Agriculture plays vital and crucial role in developing countries including Pakistan; it provides large scale employment to the people. However
agriculture is highly dependent on climate and weather. For instance
change in humidity
temperature and carbon dioxide may result in low yield of cash crops. The most important cash crops are cotton
wheat
sugar-cane
etc. [8]. So
it is significant to monitor environmental parameters in order to manage crop growth and improve the production
and latest technology is being implemented in agriculture to save time
use of fertilizers
use of pesticides
to condense human struggles
