A Wireless Sensor Network Based Precision Agriculture

Agriculture is the main livelihood source for 58% of the population of India. The Indian food industry is on the verge of massive growth, which each year increases its contribution to world trade in food because of its immense potential for added value. Particularly, in the food-processing industry which contribute to 16% of total GDP and 10% of exports. In this paper monitor agricultural land and displaying the parameters that has been sensed through Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). If anyone wants to include technology in agriculture, he should be aware of agriculture process. In this proposed work, we monitor the agriculture field at a distance by using XBee technology. We have connected various sensors to monitor field and depending on sensor values necessary actions will be taken. Main advantage of proposed work is consumption of power will be very less to communicate over other wireless communication technologies.
