Quality Enhancement of Agricultural Industry using MANETS

R. Sivakami, Dr.G.M. Kadhar Nawaz

Abstract


We propose a work to enrich the life of farmers and thereby improving the economy of the country. Major income for most of the countries is through agriculture. To increase the productivity, developed countries follow precision agriculture. Precision agriculture is to enable a fast and precise response to changes in environmental conditions. It is made possible by embedding processing tools in the monitoring region. Wireless networks allow the deployment of sensing systems and actuation mechanisms at a much finer level of granularity, and in a more automated implementation than has been possible before. Sensors and actuators are used to precisely control various agricultural activities. By integrating the sensors using MANETs with location aware routing using GPS will attain the increased quality of the product and precise controlling system.
