Abstract

Due to advancement in technologies and reduction in size, sensors are becoming involved in almost every field of life. Agriculture is one of such domains where sensors and their networks are successfully used to get numerous benefits. Selection of sensors and their effective utilization to solve agricultural domain problems has been an arduous task for novice users due to unavailability of conglomerated information in literature. The aim of this paper is to review the need of wireless sensors in Agriculture, WSN technology and their applications in different aspects of agriculture and to report existing system frameworks in agriculture domain.
