Power consumption considerations of a range of agricultural sensors

Precision agriculture is an integrated agricultural management system incorporating several technologies. This technology can reduce the cost of producing crops and the risk of environmental pollution. The AgroDat R&D project with notable industrial and scientific partners aims to build an agricultural information system in Hungary, financed by the Hungarian state (VKSZ 12-1-2013-0024). The system relies on collecting and analyzing high-volume data about crops and environmental conditions, like soil moisture and temperature, air temperature, precipitation, solar radiation, etc. This book presents our research results concerning low-power operation of sensors producing simple scalar and image data.
