Abstract
The crop management system using Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a kind of an autonomous solution to plant disease detection, an essential and critical operation which affects yield, cost and environmental protection against overusing of pesticide or fertilizer. Pesticides play an important role in pest control but their role is under criticism due to perceived excessive use and potentially harmful to the environment, humans and animals. Powdery Mildew, a fungal disease caused by species of fungi in the order Erysiphales, grows well in environments with high Humidity and moderate Temperature. A warning system is developed based on Low Power, Wireless Sensor Network for early season powdery mildew control based on (i) short term weather data, (ii) A model that simulates severity of disease infection and (iii) cell phone SMS warning system. Each sensor node wakes up from inactive mode by consuming less power and communicates to master or base station hourly basis in a day. This warning system is based on UC Davis Powdery Mildew Risk Index Model. It also warns disease severity through other environmental factors like humidity (50% to 85% ) and wind speed (≥2 Kmph). Use of the warning system reduces disease severity and also helps farmer to decide fungicide spray program, which results in reduction in pesticide cost and increase in yield by controlling plant disease ‘Powdery Mildew’. Therefore in this project we would like to propose system that will communicate and warn through SMS by analysing short term weather data.
