Honey Garg; Namit Gupta; Chintan Patel

Indian economy is mainly based on agriculture. In today’s world due to global warming and climatic changes there is challenging situation in field of agriculture. Number of advance methods and technologies are coming in agriculture to reduce cost and improve total productivity. There is new concept of agriculture in controlled environment. This paper describes the monitoring technology of agriculture field which consist of WSN (wireless sensor network). This WSN is very suitable for agriculture information and irrigation system. Wireless technologies have been under rapid advance in the recent years. WSN is design for measure the some parameters like soil temperature, ph, humidity, electrical conductivity etc. It reduces the labor cost or provides convenient services to farmer.
