Abstract

Wireless sensor networks are the communication of small sensing el- ements which collaborate with each other to collect process and communicate over wireless channel information about some physical phenomena. These self- managing, highly robust and energy efficient networks can be excellent means for monitoring underground mining, wildlife and various physical infrastruc- tures such as bridges, pipelines, and buildings. This paper introduces wireless sensor networks to address specific problems in agriculture system of agricul- tural countries like Pakistan and discusses WSN’s usefulness to overcome those problems.
