We have also made a careful performance evaluation of a scaled-down WSN in the laboratory.
We highlight the efficiency of the system on a large scale deployment in comparison to the traditionally used solution based on individual weather station by deploying both systems in parallel and comparing results.
We demonstrate that wireless sensor networks provide better geographic coverage and an increased spatial resolution compared to traditional solutions.
They also enable precise measurements of soil conditions near the plants themselves, increasing the quality of the information available to the farmer.
