Popis: Agriculture played vital role in countries development. It helped in improving the economy of the country. But from past couple of decades, state of agriculture hadn't improved much. It was even declining in some of the areas. Farmers had started to utilize different agricultural techniques, fertilizers, hybrid seed, etc. but it was not worthwhile for long term improvement. So farmers had diverted their attention toward utilization of science and technology. Different monitoring systems had been installed to improve the yield. The developed system monitored different agricultural parameters and transmitted them wirelessly to central unit via. Microcontroller. The real time values of different parameters were displayed at both transmitter and receivers side. Sensors used were tested for different environmental condition like changing the temperature across the fields. Also the wireless module was examined against different obstacles. It was found that system works well in transmitting real time values wirelessly to remotely placed receiver.
