A Review of Wireless Sensor Network For Agriculture

Abstract

Agriculture has key role in supplying the food but climate change, more demand for food and scarcity of water demands modified agriculture methods for agriculture practices. Advancement of wireless sensor network, size reduction has increased chances of application of WSN in agriculture field. The proper selection of WSN specific to particular application is complex task for novice user. The objective of this paper is providing an overview of different WSN technologies used in agriculture domain. In this work, we provide information about WSN, their standard and technologies such as types of WSN architecture, Wireless communication, different wireless sensors along with specific application and case study of WSN. At the end we discussed the challenges in WSN and future direction for the work in this field.
