Abstract :
This paper proposes a resolution of using wireless sensor networks to improve the productivity of agriculture. The application of the sensor networks is introduced briefly at first, then the design and implementation of the hardware and software of the sensor nodes and sink node is discussed in detail. The experimental results show that the system can work effectively in monitoring the ecology environment of the farmland and its application will prominently improve the productivity of agriculture.
