Abstract

Agricultural monitoring is essential to improve crop health, productivity, and energy efficiency, particularly for precision agriculture. Real-time monitoring enables the early detection and correction of unfavorable environmental conditions. This results in the optimization of agricultural supplies consumption and crop diseases prevention. This paper describes an automated agricultural monitoring system (iAgriMon) to increase production efficiency and improve quality. It is based on a hybrid Internet of Things and Wireless Sensor Networks architecture. The system uses a low-cost sensors network. The collected data can be consulted using a Web portal for enhanced agricultural environments. The temperature and humidity parameters of a greenhouse environment are on-site monitoring. Other sensors can be added to monitor specific parameters according to the requirements of the environment. The results showed that conditions within greenhouses might be very different from those expected. The proposed system provides effective parameters’ measurement for enhanced agricultural environment productivity.
