Wireless Sensor Network Based Irrigation Management System for Container Grown Crops in Pakistan
نویسندگان
چکیده
Irrigation procedures are based on farmer’s experience, soil properties and environmental conditions that are affected by changes in environmental conditions. Wireless sensor network is a solution for monitoring environmental conditions and efficient utilization of water. In this paper, an effective irrigation management system is presented for the container grown crops. It utilizes wireless sensor network for obtaining soil properties and environmental data continuously. Irrigation schedule of different plants is planned according to their requirement which is based on the data obtained from sensor nodes deployed at different locations. The irrigation management system investigates data to identify water deficient locations and informs the farmers about it via alarming unit or a text message sent over LAN.
