The Use of Wireless Sensor Networks in Precision Agriculture

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are the enabling technology for efficient and inexpensive Precision Agriculture (PA). Prior to PA, farmers had to rely on satellite and aircraft imagery or other map based systems to accurately target their growing areas.

Precision Agriculture has the benefit of providing real time feed-back on a number of different crop and site variables. As its name implies, Precision Agriculture is precise in both the size of the crop area it monitors as well as in the delivery amounts of water, fertilizer, etc.  This technology can isolate a single plant for monitoring and nurturing, or more typically an area in the tens or hundreds of square feet.
