ROBOTIC PESTICIDE SPRAYER USING IOT

Abstract

There are many types of pesticides sprayer are available in India. But mostly used sprayer is backpack type sprayer which is used by farmers because it is cheaper, easy to use and main thing about it is less costly. With the help of this machine farmer spray pesticides in their farm, but it requires lot of time and thus high operational cost. Also, the farmer who is spraying pesticides is affected by it as it is harmful to human health and human also affect by the lumbar pain due to weight of equipment. This method used lots of time and affects human health adversely. This project suggests machines which will save time and operational cost. Also saves human from affecting adversely. The responsibility of controlling and managing the plant growth from early stage to mature harvest stage involves monitoring and identification of plant diseases, controlled irrigation and controlled use of fertilizers and pesticides. This also employ the technique of image processing for vision based automatic disease detection on plant leaves. Thus, this project vigorously describes the design and construction of an autonomous mobile robot featuring plant disease detection, growth monitoring and spraying mechanism for pesticide, fertilizer and water to apply in agriculture or plant nursery. This project provide a compact, portable and a well founded platform that can survey the farmland automatically and also can identify disease and can examine the growth of the plant and accordingly spray pesticide, fertilizer and water to the plant. This approach will help farmers make right decisions by providing real-time information about the plant and its environment using fundamental principles of Internet, Sensor’s technology and Image processing.
