APPLICATION OF WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS IN AGRICULTURE: A REVIEW

In recent years, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have received a lot of attention in various research areas. The useful applications of WSN begin by collecting, storing and sharing the detected data. WSN has been used for many applications such as area surveillance, health care monitoring, environmental / land detection, industrial monitoring, agriculture etc. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) consists of different nodes which process and communicate the information collected from different sensors. The wireless sensor nodes send the data wirelessly to a central server, which collects the data, stores it and allows it to be analyzed and displayed as needed. This paper gives review about the need of wireless sensors in Agriculture, WSN technology existing system frameworks in agriculture domain
