Beneflts of Using Wireless Sensor Networks to Predict Plagues in Vineyards

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are experienced an important development, as their applications grow and grow. Vineyards are one of the most popular scenarios to deploy WSN in order to tracking various botanic parameters. Agronomists could use the sensing capa- bilities to check the evolution of many parameters. Some of the measured parameters are closely related to various plant plagues, as mildew in vineyards. The usefulness of such tracking in plague prediction, and the possible beneflts of controlling plagues by predicting their cycles with automatic data capture are the objective of the present work, which highlights both the botanic and the economic advantages of a fully performance WSN in a vineyard.
