Description
Summary:Increased demand of farm product due to population growth and limited resources of irrigation water has made the field irrigation management system as an important element of agricultural activity. Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is the most preferred platform due to its low cost, small size, low power consumption, reduced maintenance, great flexibility, portability and scalability features. WSN based expert system is proposed to provide optimized water supply for various crops in the field. It uses on field soil moisture and temperature data to understand the actual need of water.
