One of the essential tasks in agricultural applications is the use of computer technology. Agriculture is mainly based on observing, measuring, and responding to inter and intra field variability in crops. Improper irrigation will result in waste of water. Proper irrigation system could be achieved by using WSN technology Farmers, researchers, and technical manufacturers are joining efforts to find more efficient solutions for solving various different problems in agriculture to improve current production and processes. Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of sensors and connectivity to enable application like agriculture optimum irrigation. Wireless sensors consist of computation, wireless communication capabilities and small nodes of sensing. Today WSN have become an important part of precision agriculture. The recent advancement in wireless technologies has enabled a wide range of applications in environment monitoring. The use of sensors helps farmers to exploit all available resources appropriately and to apply hazardous products moderately. In this paper we have discussed about the sensor network and compared various techniques used in precision agriculture.
