Abstract
Agriculture sector utilizes almost 80% of the available fresh water for irrigation. Conventional irrigation practices are very inefficient and add to fresh water scarcity drastically. Agriculture 4.0 is the technology that can be adopted for precision irrigation. Evapotranspiration, soil and crop transpiration are the major factors that decides the demand of irrigation. To estimate the evapotranspiration, soil and crop transpiration local weather condition needs to be gathered, for which local weather station are required. The development of Internet of things (IoT)-based weather station wireless senor network node (WSN) is discussed in the present work. The weather station node developed gathers the air temperature, humidity, wind conditions and provides the data to the IoT cloud server. In the end, challenges in front of WSN Agriculture 4.0 are discussed.
