Monitoring of crop microenvironment is very important to assess its effects on productivity. Advances in communications technology and wireless sensor networks (WSN) emerged as very recent tools for microclimate quantification in agriculture sector. In particular, monitoring agricultural environments for various factors such as temperature, moisture, humidity etc. can be of more significance. This paper proposed idea about intelligent monitoring microenvironment of the crop field by using Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART) & field programmable gate array (FPGA). The sensed data is routed to the sink node via intermediate sensor nodes to gather accurate information's about the various microclimatic parameters e.g. canopy temperature, humidity and soil moisture level of the crop field.
