Title
Wireless Sensor Network in precision agriculture application
Abstract
The Wireless Sensors Network (WSN) is nowadays widely used to build decision support systems to overcome many problems in the real-world. One of the most interesting fields having an increasing need of decision support systems is precision agriculture (PA). This paper presents WSN as the best way to solve the agricultural problems related to farming resources optimization, decision making support, and land monitoring. This approach provides real-time information about the lands and crops that will help farmers make right decisions. Using the basic principles of Internet and WSN technology, precision agriculture systems based on the internet of things (IOT) technology is explained in detail especially on the hardware architecture, network architecture and software process control of the precision irrigation system. The software monitors data from the sensors in a feedback loop which activates the control devices based on threshold value. Implementation of WSN in PA will optimize the usage of water fertilizer and also maximized the yield of the crops.
