Modern Agriculture Using Wireless Sensor Network (WSN)

Agriculture is the back bone of India and nearly 70% of people in our country depend on agriculture. The yield of agriculture should be increased rapidly to fulfill the food requirements of population throughout the world. Now days Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) used for solving many real time problems. WSN plays vital role in many field like transport, medical, military, mobile phones, home appliances and so on. Agriculture is one of the important sources for all living things. But nowadays agriculture crops are affected due to many environmental changes. To overcome this WSN takes important role in the field of agriculture. In agriculture WSN used for monitoring, measuring temperature, irrigation system, measuring water supply and so on. WSN helps the farmer to produce the crop with high quantity and reduce the cost of yield. Agriculture gets affected by climatic change, environmental change, and natural disaster. Using WSN the soil and water management can be done. Here wireless sensors are used so the cost of implementation is very low. In this paper wireless sensor nodes are used to monitor the crops. The temperature, humidity and some other theft detection can be made using sensors. This helps to increase the productivity of agriculture. The human effort is reduced by automatic process and it encourage the farmer to develop the farm land. The location of the farm land can be send using GPS. Some components like sensor, Wi-Fi, camera and some other devices are used to make the agriculture as smart. All the gathered information are stored in memory or in cloud.
