Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) plays an important role in the agriculture industry to reduce wastage and increase crop yield. Crops are necessary for the survival of humans since they may be used to provide food, feed for animals, and fuel, as well as the basic materials needed for clothing and housing. Attacks by wild animals on farms are a common problem that many farmers encounter. Standing crops are frequently destroyed by wild animals, resulting in lower yearly crop production and economic losses for farmers. This paper discusses the development of an IoT-based application for farmers to protect their crops from wild animals. When an animal enters the crop field, it produces an alarm message on the farmer's phone using Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM). After receiving the alert, farmers can act accordingly. Farmers can acquire weather and humidity information for the following seven days by utilizing this application. Farmers may monitor field conditions and crops 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, from anywhere.
