Abstract
Greenhouses are of great importance in the agricultural field as they provide the appropriate and important environment for the growth and production of various plants regardless of the surrounding environmental conditions. Monitoring and controlling these houses are considered necessary and important in order to provide the required environment and obtain the best production. Therefore, the aim of this project is to study the monitoring and control of these houses using wireless sensor networks, which are considered modern and simple methods due to the accuracy of work and little effort they provide, and thus better production. The study will be for several formations and designs for the greenhouse model and simulation using the program OPNET to determine which designs are best for better performance on the ground .This study shows the effect of increasing the number of nodes in the network to 240 nodes, as well as the effect of having one or more coordinating devices with the time between packet generation periods, while determining the effect of this on the decrease in the number of discarded packets. So This study also shows how to increase productivity depending on the number of coordinators to receive all packages.
