Popis: Recently, the wireless sensor networks have rapidly emerged into agriculture and greenhouse because of owing many advantages than the traditional methods. However, some subjects such as cost and power are being brought up as a controversial issue. This study presents a developed wireless sensor network based on a proposed algorithm to improve tomato crop in a greenhouse. The developed sensor nodes, which own low-power consumption and also low-cost, monitor parameters like temperature, humidity, CO, C O 2 and light intensity. The users define the minimum and maximum setpoints for the sensors to make an appropriate condition in the greenhouse. Also, the developed system was equipped with irrigation management that works based on time and date that maintain optimum water in the soil. The obtained results reveal that the amount of the tomato crops increases 30% than traditional methods after benefiting the developed system as well as the greenhouse experiences a decrease in consuming methane gas, water, and electricity as 30, 24 and 10% separately, in comparison to the traditional methods.
