Precision Agriculture Using Internet of Things and Wireless Sensor Networks

Abstract

Insights and recommendations next step forward are provided to better harness technological benefit in Precision Agriculture. Precision agriculture has become a popular approach for enhancing crop yields, cutting expenses, and raising productivity inside the agricultural industry. The implementation of Internet of Things (IoT) and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) technology has enabled those farmers to gather actual information regarding environmental aspects, crop development and health, soil quality, and nutrient content. This information is analyzed using predictive analytics, allowing farmers to make informed decisions about irrigation, pest management, fertilizer application, and crop yield optimization. This paper presents an overview of the key features of WSN in precision agriculture, including sensor networks, precise irrigation, crop monitoring, crop protection, soil monitoring, predictive analytics, reduced labor costs, and increased efficiency.
