Advances in information and communication technologies provide precision agriculture with more efficient tools for agricultural monitoring systems and the possibility of crop irrigation automation. This paper presents the implementation of a crop field monitoring system based on wireless sensor networks (WSN) with moisture detectors, which are remotely controlled for data collection. The implemented WSN performs information gathering functions from the sensor nodes to the base station. The system is integrated into the internet cloud and together with the hardware and software configuration, adequate energy efficiency is obtained.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
