Measurement of Agriculture applications using ZIG
BEE.
ABSTRACT
Measurement of agriculture systems are used extensively in agricultural applications for both
day-to-day and research purposes. Our automated weather stations and other measurement
products provide accurate and reliable data that can assist in the overall management of crops
and farm operations. Our systems are used by large commercial and private farms, agricultural
engineers, and agronomy researchers. The versatility of our measurement systems allows them
to be used in a variety of applications including Measurements include wind speed and direction,
solar radiation, RH, rain, soil moisture, and temperature (air and soil). This data can be input into
crop models, providing information for optimized crop management
The project involves in measuring the Temperature and Humidity of a
remote area and continuously monitoring the changes in Temperature and Humidity in that
particular area. In this project the Temperature Sensor and Humidity sensor are interfaced with a
micro controller. The Temperature and Humidity measured are transmitted through the Zig Bee
modem, interfaced with the micro controller, from the remote area to the monitoring station. Zig
Bee modules are interfaced to the microcontrollers with temperature sensors and Humidity
sensors, and these entire modules are kept at different remote areas from where the
corresponding Temperature and Humidity are transmitted to the monitoring station. In the
monitoring station the different temperature and Humidity of different places are monitored
using a system. The database for the system is designed using Visual Studio or C Language.
ADVANTAGES
1. Soil moisture, Irrigation scheduling, Heat/chill monitoring are provided
2. Stations provide daily estimates of water use.
3. Data from remote locations can be transmitted to a home or office.
