Abstract

Crops in farms are many times ravaged by local animals like buffaloes, cows, goats, birds etc. This leads to huge losses for the farmers. It is not possible for farmers to barricade entire fields or stay on field 24 hours and guard it. So here we propose automatic crop protection system from animals. this system uses a motion sensor to detect wild animals approaching near the field. In such a case the sensor signals the micro controller to take action. The micro controller now sounds an alarm to woo the animals away from the field as well as sends SMS to the farmer so that he may know about the issue and come to the spot in case the animals don’t turn away by the alarm. This ensures complete safety of crops from animals thus protecting the farmer’s loss. watering is the most important cultural practice and most labor intensive task in daily greenhouse operation. Watering systems ease the burden getting water to plants when they need it. Knowing when and how much to water is two important aspects of watering process. To make the gardener works easily, the automatic plant watering system is created. There have a various type using automatic watering system that are by using sprinkler system, tube, nozzles and other. This system uses NODE MCU. It is programmed in such a way that it will sense the moisture level of the plants and supply the water if required. This type of system is often used for general plant care, as part of caring for small and large gardens. Normally, the plants need to be watered twice daily, morning and evening. So, the micro controller has to be coded to water the plants in the greenhouse about two times per day. However for most people it becomes challenging to keep them healthy and alive. This system automation is designed to be assistive for the University Park. This system hopes that through this prototype people will enjoy having plants without the challenges related to absent or forgetfulness.
