REVOLUTIONIZING AGRICULTURE: WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORK APPROACHES FOR PRECISION FARMING

Аннотация

This paper explores the transformative potential of wireless sensor network (WSN) approaches in revolutionizing agriculture, particularly in the context of precision farming. Precision agriculture aims to optimize crop yield, minimize input usage, and enhance environmental sustainability through targeted and data-driven farming practices. Wireless sensor networks offer a powerful toolset for collecting real-time data on various agricultural parameters, including soil moisture, temperature, humidity, and crop health. By deploying sensor nodes across fields and integrating data analytics techniques, precision agriculture can enable farmers to make informed decisions and improve resource management. This paper provides an overview of existing WSN approaches in precision agriculture, highlighting their key features, benefits, and challenges. Additionally, it discusses emerging trends and future directions in WSN technologies for enhancing precision farming practices.
