Precision irrigation using Wireless Sensor Network

Abstract

Wireless Sensors Network (WSN) are used to build decision support systems (DSS) to overcome many real-world problems. Nowadays, one of the most popular fields that needs DSS is precision agriculture (PA). In general, this paper presents WSN as an alternative and efficient way to solve the farming resources optimization and decision making. Precision agriculture systems based on the internet of things (IOT) technology is explained in detail especially on the hardware and network architecture and software process control of the precision irrigation system. The system collect, analyse and monitors data from the sensors in a feedback loop which activates the control devices based on pre-calculated threshold value.
