Developing a Prototype of Smart Crop Protection System from Animals

India is an agrarian country. Agriculture has perpetually been India’s most significant economic sector. However, farmers are facing many issues. One of them is the destruction of the crops by animals. This leads to huge losses for the farmers. Considering this scenario an automatic crop protection system is suggested in this paper. In this, first of all, an animal detection system is developed which gives a warning and diverts the animal from the farm without harming it. Further, it informs the farm owner about the entry of animals on the farm. This is achieved with the help of an Arduino Uno-based system using a microcontroller. The system continuously checks the activity of animals. The passive infrared sensors and ultrasonic sensors are used to detect animals and birds and they send the signal to the controller. In this prototype, the complete safety of crops is ensured from animals without harming animals and with minimum loss to the farm. Also, an attempt is made to cover all kinds of animals and birds. Deployment of the system may result in a significant increase in the yield of crops
