IOT Based Agricultural Field Protection using Wireless Sensor Network

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IOT) has the potential to transform the present world. The global population is projected to reach 9.8 billion by 2050 according to UN report and the application of IOT in agriculture could have the utmost impact in feeding the ever increasing population. Since IOT enables the objects to be sensed and controlled remotely , the integration of traditional methodology with Internet of Things and Wireless Sensor Networks can surely steer the world in the direction of agricultural renovation. In this paper, the design and testing of an IOT based device that is capable of analyzing the sensed data and transmitting it to the user is presented. This device can be implemented in crop fields and grain stores for security reasons and can be controlled and monitored from remote location. This emphasizes on solving problems like detection of rodents causing threats to food crops and sending of real time notifications to the users without human partaking
