            Abstract : 
The purpose of this is to design and develop an agricultural monitoring system using wireless sensor network to increase the productivity and quality of farming without observing it for all the time manually. Temperature, humidity and carbon dioxide levels are the most important factors for the productivity, growth, and quality of plants in agriculture. So this system periodically measures these parameters inside the fields, thus the farmers or the agriculture experts can observe the measurements from the web simultaneously. Moreover, when a critical change in one of the measurements occurs, then the farmer will be intimated via mobile text message and e-mail by an agriculture expert. With the continuous monitoring of many environmental parameters, the grower can analyze the optimal environmental conditions to achieve maximum crop productiveness, for the better productivity and to achieve remarkable energy savings.
