Precision Agriculture: Renewable Energy Based Smart Crop Field Monitoring and Management System Using WSN via IoT

Abstract

Although economy of the 21st century is exceedingly reliable on industrialization, agriculture works as an unavoidable driving force for economic growth of the country like Bangladesh where advancement of wireless technologies, computational techniques and system engineering have rendered new opportunities to promote our existing agricultural system. This paper work depicts the design and implementation of a solar energy based precision agriculture (PA) with wireless sensory network (WSN) via Internet of Things (IoT) architecture to meet the demand of finding highly efficient methods for smart agricultural monitoring and management system. Our proposed system will provide valuable data about salt water intrusion, soil moisture, water level, humidity, temperature as well as the general condition of the crop field to the farmers in a user friendly, easily accessible manner with real time data communication via IoT. We can monitor the crop field conditions by using smartphone and will be able to take the necessary steps remotely on the basis of present conditions. We have utilized our proposed system and collected experimental data from south-western and southeastern part of Bangladesh.
