An Insight of Technological development on Agriculture.

 Nigeria, as one of the best food producing country, needs some electronic innovation 

in the field of agriculture. Monitoring and control of farming 

environment play a crucial role in farming production and 

management. Farm lands and plantations in Nigeria and 

west African countries are usually very large scale running thousands of acres and in most cases fencing these large 

expanses of land are prohibitively expensive and really overwhelming. 

Farmers therefore act by putting together fences using 

sticks and ropes and these provide the individual security measure 

they can adopt. These security measures are feather-brained and really ineffective as intruders can easily jump them and move 

away with the yielding amount of crops as they will carry them without the 

knowledge of the owners, especially when such fences are erected around dark crevices. Also, with this situations in 

West Africa where farmers face security threats in their farmland, 

especially with the Fulani herdsmen group, the wireless sensor 

networks technology are often utilized in this effect to urge real time 

information of the farmland  and know when an intrusion or other security threats occurs, 

the nature or sort of intrusion with the required action(s) to take place. The Wireless Surveillance Network (WSNs) system comprises of the two wireless sensor nodes, surveillance network layers and a base station 

that communicate with one another and gather real information or recordings to 

make actual findings about things at hand. The system overpowers  the limitation of erecting fences using sticks which 

can be considerably stressful and ineffective. It also has the benefits of a rotating 

motion detection, an good sound alarm and alert system as a security 

measure. one among the new features included during this development , is an 

alarm system which can be raised to frighten the invaders to 

leave the farm premises. 

When the invader stays for more than 35 seconds on the farmland, the GSM module is modified for sending SMS to the farm owner indicating the character of invasion.

 It alerts the farmer that some human (mostly) or animals or birds are on the farm. the opposite feature comprises the metallic sensor which informs the farmer, if a person's 

being who invade the farm is armed (with metallic objects 

such as farm tools, cutlass, gun, etc.). The wireless network surveillance system is built with 

the aim of executing maximal plant growth and yield.
