The Impact of Wireless Sensor Network in the Field of Precision Agriculture: A Review

Precision agriculture (PA) is an interdisciplinary concept of integrating information technology in agriculture to increase the production and quality of the crops. One of the most important and interesting information of technology is Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). This technology is used to collect, monitor and analyse the data from the field of agriculture. This interdisciplinary technology will boost the crop productivity and maintain quality for example, monitoring the pest and disease control, animal tracking and strength of the crop. In this paper, we have surveyed the importance of sensor in PA and the importance of WSN technologies for remote monitoring in the various applications of the agriculture field.
