Protection and Prediction of Crop Yield during Natural Calamities

Abstract

The improving trend towards automation technology provides a path way to overcome the challenges in the Agricultural Sector. There are various difficulties faced by the farmers such as crop failure, root loss, less or no yield during rainy season. So, in order to save the crop from such calamities we are introducing the automation crop protection system. The two major crops used by Indian Population are rice and wheat.  The statistical data shows that the crop loss ranges from 10 to 28% for wheat and 25 to 41% for rice which results in monetary loss to the farmers. The proposed automation crop protection system uses FARMIVOLT APP which is controlled through GSM and activates the operation of the various sensors placed for the protection operation. This system overcomes all the disadvantages faced by the farmers and results in efficient crop yield.
