Real-Time Monitoring Of Agricultural Activities Using Wireless Sensor Network
Saleemmaleekh Attar | Sudhakar K N [3]
Abstract: With the advancement in technology, the world around us in every part of our life getting automated. The manual procedures are being replaced by these automated systems, since they are with energy efficient and consume less labor work. This paper proposes the advantages of having Wireless Sensor Network technology in Indian agricultural sector, which shows the path to the rural farmers to replace some of their traditional techniques. Here, multiple environmental data such as Humidity, Soil moisture, Soil pH etc. are collected by a set of wireless sensor nodes and applied as input to the Peripheral Interface Controller (PIC). The data is checked continuously by PIC controller and a set of control actions like Irrigation, Soil fertility check etc. are made if they exceed threshold level. After every activity, an evidence message is sent through SMS via GSM modem to the farmer. The module by module design and implementation of the system are given. The system overcomes the limitations of traditional agricultural procedures by utilizing water resource efficiently and also reducing labor cost.
