Role of Wireless Sensor Networks in Agriculture

The Wireless Sensors Network (WSN) is now-a-days widely used to build decision support systems to overcome many problems in the real-world. This paper presents WSN as the best way to solve the agricultural problems related to crops identification, crop condition, yield estimation etc. This approach provides real-time information about the lands and crops that will help farmers make right decisions. The software monitors data from the sensors in a feedback loop which activates the control devices based on threshold value. Implementation of WSN in agriculture will optimize the usage of water fertilizer and also maximized the yield of the crops. WSN is an intelligent system which can monitor the agricultural environments of crops and provides service to farmers. The wireless sensor network (WSN) technique attracts increasing attention in recent years. The purpose of such systems is to improve the outputs of crops by means of managing and monitoring the growth period.
