Agriculture productivity is declining day by day due to the lack of water resources and manpower. An increased demand to save water resource, increase productivity and decrease man power are the reasons for automating system in the field of agriculture to. Variant parameters are considered for automating the drip irrigation system that includes soil moisture, humidity, temperature, and soil pH. Computational component microcontroller, sensors and Wireless sensor network for data transmission. In this paper mainly focused on studying issues in wireless sensor network such as power consumption at nodes in wireless sensor network, technology adopted for data transmission, data traffic in the network. A major issue is to set up a remote sensor and actuator network (WSAN). Utilizing remote innovations in the field of farming have a lot of technical difficulties such as, enhancing battery life, long-range data transmission, network stability, secure data transmission, bandwidth of network, less data loss during transmission, data transmission rate and low cost in the meantime.
