TITLE:
Drones for Smart Agriculture.
One of main source of income in of India is Agriculture. The production rate
of crops in agriculture is based on various parameters like temperature, humidity,
rain, etc. Which are natural factors and not in farmers control. The field of
agriculture is also depends on some of factors like pests, disease, fertilizers, etc
which can be control by giving proper treatment to crops. Pesticides may increase
the productivity of crops but it also affects on human health. So the main aim of
this paper is to design agriculture drone for spraying pesticides. In this paper, we
are going to discus different architecture based on unmanned aerial vehicles
(UAVs). The use of pesticides in agriculture is very important to agriculture and it
will be so easy if will use intelligent machines such as robots using new
technologies. This paper gives the idea about various technologies used to reduce
human efforts in various operations of agriculture like detection of presence of
pests, spraying of UREA, spraying of fertilizers, etc. This paper describes the
development of quad copter UAV and the spraying mechanism. In this paper we
also discuss integration of sprayer module to quad copter system. The discussed
system involves designing a prototype which uses simple cost effective equipment
like BLDC motor, Arduino, ESC wires, etc

OBJECTIVE:
Agriculture in India constitutes more than 60% of occupation. It serves to be
the backbone of Indian economy. It is very essential to improve the
productivity and efficiency of agriculture by providing safe cultivation of the
farmer. The various operations like spraying of pesticides and sprinkling
fertilizer are very important. Though spraying of pesticides has become
mandatory it also proves to be a harmful procedure for the farmers.
Farmers especially when they spray urea, take to many precautions like
wearing appropriate outfit masks and gloves. It will avoid any harmful effect
on the farmers. Avoiding the pesticides is also not completely possible as the
required result has to be met. Hence fore, use of robots in such cases gives
the best of the solutions for this type of problems, along with the required
productivity and efficiency of the product .
According to survey conducted by WHO (world health organization) it is
estimated that every year about 3 million workers are affected by poisoning
from pesticides from which 18000 die. This projects aims to overcome the
ill-effect of the pesticides on human beings and also use to spray pesticides
over large area in short intervals of time compare to conventional spraying
by using automatic fertilizer sprayer.
This device is basically combination of spraying mechanism on a quad
copter frame .This model is used to spray the pesticides content to the areas
that cannot easily accessible by humans. The universal sprayer system use to
spray liquid as well as solid contents which are done by the universal
nozzle .
