PROVIDING SMART AGRICULTURAL SOLUTIONS TO FARMERS FOR BETTER YIELDING USING IOT
Abstract
The advent of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) spurred a new direction of research in agricultural and farming domain. In recent times, WSNs are widely applied in various agricultural applications. In this paper, we review the potential WSN applications, and the specific issues and challenges associated with deploying WSNs for improved farming. To focus on the specific requirements, the devices, sensors and communication techniques associated with WSNs in agricultural applications are analyzed comprehensively. We present various case studies to thoroughly explore the existing solutions proposed in the literature in various categories according to their design and implementation related parameters. In this regard, the WSN deployments for various farming applications in the Indian as well as global scenario are surveyed. We highlight the prospects and problems of these solutions, while identifying the factors for improvement and future directions of work using the new age technologies. The approach uses the combination of IoT and cloud computing that promotes the fast development to agricultural modernization and helps to realize smart solution for agriculture and efficiently solve the issues related to farmers.
