A ZigBee Based Smart Wireless Sensor Network For Monitoring an Agricultural Environment

Electronics Engineering

India is an agricultural country and most of the people are farmers. Farmers are cultivating different types of crop. Different crops require different type of Temperature, water providation, etc. In conjunction with the population growth over last century the need for finding new, more efficient and sustainable methods of agricultural cultivation and food production has become more critical. To facilitate this process we are designing, building and evaluating a system for precision agriculture which provides farmers with useful data about the soil, water supply, and the general condition of their fields in a user friendly. The main objective of the present paper is to develop a smart wireless sensor network (WSN) for an agricultural environment. Monitoring agricultural environment for various factors such as soil moisture, temperature and humidity. This paper investigates a monitoring system using Zigbee. These nodes send data wirelessly to a central server, which collects the data, stores it and will allow it to be analyzed then displayed as needed and can also be sent to the computer.
