Design and Development of FarmGuard System Based on Microcontroller

Abstract

Microcontroller -Based farmGuard system Agriculture faces Frequent crop loss due to the entry of animals and birds into farm fields. Traditional Protection methods such as manual guarding , scarecrows ,or simple fencing are often ineffective ,time -consuming ,and costly. This Project Proposes a microcontroller-Based farmGuard system, an automated and low-cost solution made to monitor agricultural land and prevent crop losses. The system uses ESP32 microcontroller as the main control unit ,connected with sensors to detect unwanted movement near farm boundaries. When birds are detected ,the system activates actions such as ultrasonic sound, alarm speakers and rotating reflective device to safely scare them away .It can also send real time alerts to farmer through mobile networks. This system helps farmers increase crop protection by protecting Plants during important growth stages. It is low-cost, energy-efficient, and can be used on small and large farms.
