One of the challenges faced by WSNs is prolonging the life of sensor nodes. However, WSNs exhibit several limitations when deployed in real-world applications. The use of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) in modern precision agriculture to monitor climate conditions and to provide agriculturalists with a considerable amount of useful information is currently being widely considered. The system will reduce the water consumption and giving uniform water to the crop results in increasing yield. User can make the irrigation system ON or OFF remotely. Hence coordinator collects the data over ZigBee wireless communication protocol and allow user to monitor the data from a web browser.

Each sensor node consists of soil moisture and soil temperature sensor and one ZigBee RF antenna device for communication with the coordinator node.The system will work according to the algorithm developed for watering the crop. The goal of coordinator node is to collect the parameters like soil moisture and soil temperature wirelessly.

Embedded Linux board makes the communication with all distributed sensor nodes placed in the farm through ZigBee protocol and itself act as a coordinated node in the wireless sensor network. The system provides a web interface to the user so that the user can control and monitor the system remotely. This paper presents an automation of farm irrigation system using a wireless sensor network (WSN) and embedded Linux board. I t also helps to control the condition to avoid the major loss of crops. The coding was instigated with threshold values of the factors monitored and was programmed into micro - controller with uses IoT application to send an alert to the user mobile phone to be aware of the a dverse conditions of the field. There is also inclusion of the GSM gateway administering the sensor statistics from the coordinator to the router ZigBee, which is used to disseminate data to the web application. IoT will become a reality over the next few years, with omnipresent smart dev ices will be able to execute autonomously according to the change in their surroundings.

Internet of things collaborates with one another to perform action on behalf of people to reduce or eliminate the need of hu man labor. Sensors gather the various agricultural factors in real ti me and transmit it using IoT application. This system is a wireless sensor network using ZigBee as the transmission medium fo r the sensed values of the facets of agriculture. Our results have revealed the possibility to develop a robust, fully-automated, solar powered, and low cost monitoring and irrigation system that suits to the socio-economic conditions of small scale farms in countries like Greece.Īn agricultural automated system is designed for supervising and controlling the variegated factors s uch as humidity, water level, temperature and human machination. The system is easy to use by farmers who look for a first contact with Precision Agriculture applications. Furthermore, the system can operate proactively based on user-defined rules that can decide when the farm should be irrigated.

Monitoring and irrigation of the field are carried out through a web application that collects data from a Wireless Sensor Network deployed in a cultivation and displays relative information in real time. This paper presents the design, implementation and performance evaluation of an integrated agricultural monitoring and irrigation system using energy-autonomous wireless sensors and actuators. The use of Precision Agriculture systems is in its infancy in Greece, because of the high fragmented land and the adherence of farmers to traditional farming methods.
