Abstract

In India 75% land is occupied for agriculture so some recent survey shows 85% of fresh water resources is utilized in every seasonal period. We can overcome this water consumption through the help of embedded wireless sensor equipments. In this paper we projected a new idea, the system have distributed wireless network to monitor a soil-moisture. Temperature sensors are placed in the root zone of the plants and all these sensors are self power sourced through batteries with an inbuilt rechargeable photovoltaic cell to charge them. Using GPRS system it can be monitored accurately from outsource, and another main action to be achieved in this agriculture environment. The overall environment will be monitored through a digital camera to avoid the infection in plants and also fertilizing them in a correct time. The automated system actions are analyzed and monitored in the server or data storage room.
