Multidisciplinary Approach for Connecting Agriculture to IOT through WSN

Information Technology engineering

The Internet of Things (IOT), the idea of getting real-world objects connected with each other, will change the way users organize, obtain and consume information radically. Internet of Things (IOT) enables various applications (crop growth monitoring and selection, irrigation decision support, etc.) in Digital Agriculture domain. The Wireless Sensors Network (WSN) is widely used to build decision support systems. These systems overcomes many problems in the real-world. One of the most interesting fields having an increasing need of decision support systems is Precision Agriculture (PA). Through sensor networks, agriculture can be connected to the IoT, which allows us to create connections among agronomists, farmers and crops regardless of their geographical differences. With the help of this approach which provides real-time information about the lands and crops that will help farmers make right decisions. The major advantage is implementation of WSN in Precision Agriculture (PA) will optimize the usage of water fertilizers while maximizing the yield of the crops and also will help in analyzing the weather conditions of the field.
