Abstract :

WSN represent an enabling technique for low power wireless measurement and control application .The elimination of wires provide significant cost savings as well as improved reliability for many long term monitoring and control applications. This paper presents a survey on various WSN applications in the agriculture field such as smart irrigation, monitoring climatic condition, Pest and disease management, mobile robotics, health care , textile, green house management, nutrition management etc. Agriculture has played a key role in the development of human civilization. Due to increased demand of food people are trying to put extra efforts and special technique to multiply food production using WSN. The analysis of the above parameters has proved to be accurate and less time consuming as compared to traditional methods. Various applications of WSN can improve the decision making for precision agriculture to yield food products with better quality, low cost and it can be helpful in reducing the excess of pesticides and insecticides.
