WSN Based Pecision Agriculture & Crop Management System
Summary: Agriculture is the main occupation of the majority of population in Pakistan. Farmers of this country rely heavily on agriculture for earning their livelihood. The nature of land used for
cultivation by the farmers varies from area to area. One of the primary challenge Pakistan is going to face in near future is to ensure the food security for its growing population, while also preserving the environment and protecting natural resources such as soil, water, air and plants.
In the field of agriculture, use of proper method of irrigation is crucial. Unfortunately, most farmers in Pakistan rely heavily on traditional methods and are unaware about how much amount of fertilizer a particular soil of crop require or is it even the fertilizer that crop needs. There is no proper way of determining that if that piece of land have appropriate amount of water and fertilizer in it. The fields are not properly leveled. So to overcome such problems among others it is necessary to use Precision Agriculture.
