Wireless sensor Network based automated irrigation and crop field monitoring system

Abstract

Wireless sensor Network based automated irrigation system for optimize water use for agricultural purpose. The system consists of distributed wireless sensor network of soli-moisture, and temperature sensors placed in the crop field. To handle the sensor information Zigbee protocol used and control the water quantity programming using an algorithm with threshold values of the sensors to a microcontroller for irrigation system. The system has powered by solar panel and Cellular-internet interface for data inspection. A wireless camera is fixed in crop field to monitor the disease area using image processing technique. The system is low cost and energy autonomy useful in water limited geographically isolated areas.
