Any agricultural operations shall sustain appropriate restraints to current production. Therefore, increasing the efficiency and accuracy estimation of environmental conditions must be considered in agriculture. These conditions vary from time to time, so it is advisable to carry out farming operations at different times based on conditions of the various farm areas. Increasing the accuracy of point-to-point measurement will increase efficiency. To achieve the above goals, a device which is called a sensor is used to measure various environmental parameters. Sensors are mounted on nodes and are responsible for transmitting the received data to the sink for data retention and response to conditions. These nodes wirelessly provide a network of sensors that can be widely circulated across the field and obtain the necessary information with the help of sensors embedded in them. In this paper, we describe the tasks of each sensor node in assisting agriculture and introduce one of the nodes from Wireless Sensor Networks in this era. The designed node circuit consists of a variety of sensors for controlling heat, humidity, and light that transmits the received information to an alternative node via a wireless sensor network. The transmitter and receiver used in the construction of the circuit at 915 MHz frequency. The node's central processor is also an AVR microcontroller, which performs all processing and monitoring tasks. The design and the use of wireless sensor networks in the agricultural industry will consequently boost productivity.
