Shivangi Gupta, Lini Mathew . LabVIEW Implementation of WSN for Real Time Monitoring in Precision Agriculture. International Journal of Computer Applications. 171, 4 ( Aug 2017), 36-40. DOI=10.5120/ijca2017915023
Agriculture is the backbone of any country’s economy and there is a strong association between agricultural growth and economic prosperity. In spite of that, exposure of agriculture to advancement of technologies is inadequate in India. New and effective technology is required to improve continuously productivity, sustainability profitability for our major farming systems. Development and expansion in wireless sensor network made this possible which was nearly impossible few decades ago .In this paper, real –time data is collected using wireless sensor nodes and transmitted to base station using ZigBee wireless technology. The data is received and saved to achieve soil moisture, temperature and humidity, and soil ph value of individual nodes placed at field station. The values are graphically displayed and analyzed at base station using LabVIEW which can be useful for taking various types of decisions for farming practice. This system has the advantage of flexible networking and it overcomes the limitation of wired sensor networks.
