Abstract
To accommodate the large global population and to combat with the alarming climate change and scarcity of water, the modern day farming demands new and improved methods, technologies and solutions for modern agricultural fields to enhance productivity. Consequently, the need for automation and intelligent decision making is becoming more important to accomplish this mission. This article outlines the recent applications of wireless sensor networks (WSN’s) in precision agriculture research to improve agricultural quality including the provision of adequate nutrients for crops and the wastage of pesticides for the effective control of weeds, pests, and diseases. An intelligent and smart WSN system can collect and process large amount of data from the beginning of the monitoring and manage air quality, soil conditions, to weather situations and in many other applications such as military, health care, industrial this technology is also applicable. These approaches may also increase the number of opportunities for processing Internet of Things (IoT) data.
