Parameter Monitoring for Precision Agriculture

Abstract

: Current scenario of Indian Farming needs a technological revolution. Precision Agriculture being a technique of applying the right amount of input (water, fertilizer, pesticides etc.) at the right location and at the right time in an agricultural farm to increase the production and hence improve the quality of the crops, utilizes different wireless sensors connected to each other. Monitoring the environmental parameters and analyzing them for an improvement in Indian farming is the impetus of this research. The productivity of the varied range of crops grown in contrastive weather in different atmospheric conditions in the country can be increased by monitoring the environmental parameters. Consequently the prominence of the paper elucidates the system design to monitor the environmental parameter using wireless sensor network.
