%X An extensive area implementation of fully observed greenhouses
motivates on research, especially in remote greenhouses. However,
implementation of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is still needed for
investigation. Cognitive radio sensor networks (CRSNs) took advantage of using
the cognitive radio (CR) concept to which allowed wireless sensor networks to
dynamically access into</span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"> </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">white
space channels</span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"> </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">which
is unused channels. In this paper, we adopted the Generalized Implicit-OR as
CRSN sensing protocol to reduce the energy consumption and increase the network
lifetime in multiple numbers of greenhouses. Our results showed that</span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"> </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">enhanced energy consumption and improved network
lifetime compared to ordinary WSN.
