Wireless sensor networks for smart agriculture

Abstract

Digital agriculture requires development and implementation of new information and communication technologies including wireless ones for increasing efficiency. The authors developed wireless sensor networks and wireless technology for express-diagnostics of plant state in agriculture, and created the appropriate hardware, software and methodological support. The developed networks now are implemented and under field tests both in open agricultural lands and in smart greenhouses. In this paper the design and application of developed wireless sensor network and some results of calculations and modelling are given.
