Abstract

The upsurge in the expansion of technology and new scientific give a big impact even in farming. The agricultural practices followed by the farmers are arduous, involving a great physical effort from the side of farmers. The usage of different kinds of sensors and their efficient way of networking in the agricultural fields eases the work of farmers in the cultivation. This turn can increase crop yields, reduced use of pesticides and fertilizers by farmers that profitability can be improved. Here we are taking into account some of the problems like wastage of the natural resources, power management in the wireless sensor networking (WSN). For the identified problems, we are thereby proposing some of the ideas concerning the sensors that could effectively procure the information regarding temperature, humidity and soil moisture. In addition, this project will discuss about the design for this sensor network, together with the specification of components that can be used and taking into account the characteristics of different micro-controllers to obtain sensor information in real time, processing, transmitting and receiving information from the sensor to farmers through the computer. The expected results of this paper will reflect the optimal use of water and electricity, increased quality of food grains, reduced usage of pesticides and fertilizers, and thus reduced environmental pollution besides easing the work of farmers.
