Abstract

This project deals with the creation of micro drone that is used as a Birds and Rodent’s repellent system. Rodents are the major vertebrate pests causing damage to various crops and commodities by feeding and indirect damage by spoilage, contamination and hording during on-farm and post-harvest stages. First and foremost, they are disease carriers and cause physical damage to structures. The analysis of the reviews on pre harvest losses indicates a range of 5-15% damage to cereal crops like rice and wheat. During 2001 it was reported that the overall losses of grain to rodents in India were approximately 25% in pre harvest and 25-30% in post-harvest situations bringing the loss to at least US $5 billion annually in stored food and seed grain in India. So, there is a huge need to rid the farm of the rat and mice infestation. In this project, we propose a microdrone with LiDAR technology to provide solution to the agricultural sector. The microdrone low weight, small in size and can be easily launched using our hands and does not produce much noise. By using appropriate way of disturbing the Birds and Rodent’s movements in the field, the harvest losses shall be minimized to a reasonable level.
