IOT based Wireless Sensor Network for Precision Agriculture

With the passage of time the trend of technology usage by farmers has been increasing to improve the quantity and quality of crop production. The multi parameter monitoring system is presented in this research where farmers/users will be updated with the help of internet. In this research two different technologies, Internet of things (IoT) and wireless sensor network are combined in an innovative way for smart remote monitoring system of crops. Sensor nodes are deployed in fields which gather data about different parameters. At transmission side these values are displayed and then transmitted to the base station using a network of XBee sensors. A database is established for maintaining sensor values which could be helpful for research and analysis of environmental factors such as soil moisture, UV index, rain, air pressure and humidity on crop production.
