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 is a microcontroller based system using PIC family microcontroller. This system uses a motion sensor to detect wild animals approaching near the field. In such a case the sensor signals the microcontroller to take action. The microcontroller now sounds an alarm to woo the animals away from the field. This ensures complete safety of crops from animals thus protecting the farmer’s loss.
