abstract = {Precision Agriculture is recently being introduced to production as the technique of using the precise amounts of agricultural essentials like water, fertilizers, and pesticides whenever needed without harming the environment, land, and crops by excess application. Various techniques are used for precision agriculture and with the advent of Wireless Sensor Networks, it has been a strong candidate in this field as it can sense the environmental conditions around plants and accordingly help propose suggestions for better results. This study introduces IoT platform basics in the agricultural domain and accordingly proposes an IoT prototype of precision farming systems and analyzes its application to Egyptian agriculture. This prototype enables monitoring environmental parameters, improving the decision-making process for different agricultural aspects, and accordingly improving the overall agricultural process. A wireless sensor network is used as this target’s enabling technology for its advantages especially over the used technologies in this field. This study demonstrates the progressive steps done towards achieving the required objective and describes its developed system.},
