A SURVEY ON WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORK AND IOT IN PRECISION AGRICULTURE

Abstract

In recent years, with the increasing population and decreasing irrigated land, meeting world’s food demands is becoming a great challenge. Wireless sensor Network is widely used in agriculture field. It provides a new direction of research in agricultural domain. WSN gives various benefits such as crop monitoring, crop management and water management. Farming is one of the major domain where WSN is used. It is very difficult to do the field management manually. The aim of this paper to survey the need of WSN in agriculture field such as real time data capturing from field, devices used etc.
