Design and Development of Automatic System to Protect Crop from Animals and Birds

We get our daily needs easily from the market. But, we hardly think about the farmers who give them to us. A farmer faces a lot of problems starting from weather condition to the unstable nature of prices for their goods. One of the main problems is destruction of crops by the animals and birds. Hence, the agricultural field is to be observed continuously to identify the passage of this sort of animals or some other undesirable interruption. This paper proposes an innovative system which helps the farmer in knowing the entry of animal/bird and taking some preventive steps automatically to drive away the animal/bird from the agriculture field. This work uses pyroelectric infrared (PIR) motion sensor to find any movement in the field. The PIR sensor is fixed on the stepper motor to get the location of animal or bird which entered the field. When the movement is detected, it gives vital preventive measures such as flashing of light, alarming, and sprinkling of water, to drive the animal away. Meanwhile, the information will be sent to the farmer with the help of TWILIO platform. So that, the farmer can arrive on time to avoid any further destruction. To summarize as a whole, the idea which is proposed and implemented can be a good solution for the animal intrusion problem, and also, it reduces the loss of human/animal lives due to electric fencing.
