Wireless sensor network in mango farming

Wireless sensor networks (WSN´s) are being widely used to monitor various environmental and physical phenomena related parameters. WSN´s are being used in various diversified fields. Agriculture and farming industry have been showing considerable interest in this technology in order to enhance productivity and be able to produce uniform quality yield, thereby enhancing profitability. India is one of the major exporters of mango in the world and profit can further be enhanced by many fold. This work presents a detailed report on various agricultural practices and mango farming statistics in India and suggests a WSN model for the WSN implementation in mango production. This model is used to monitor the amount of moisture content present in the soil.
