Monitoring, Detection and Control Techniques of Agriculture Pests and Diseases using Wireless Sensor Network: A Review

Abstract

Wireless sensor network technology is widely used in the western world for improving agriculture output. However, in the developing countries, the adaptation of technology is very slow due to various factors such as cost and unawareness of farmers with the technology. There are reports in the literature related to the precision agriculture and hopefully, this paper will add to the knowledge of the use of Wireless sensor network (WSN) for monitoring agriculture fields for pest detection. The literature related to pest monitoring and detection using wireless sensor networking technologies are reviewed. Then, the advanced sensing technologies are currently in use for the detection of a pest has been described. The existing techniques about pest detection and disease monitoring are evaluated on the basis of some key parameters such as the type of sensors used, their cost, processing tools, etc. Finally, the sensing technologies and the possibility of using third generation sensing technology for monitoring and detection of cotton crops are analyzed.
