SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
This summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts, in a simplified format, that are further described in the detailed description of the invention.
This summary is neither intended to identify key or essential inventive concepts of the invention and nor is it intended for determining the scope of the invention.
A significant number of farmers have suffered losses in terms of hectares of cropland. Many wild animals, including wild boars, foxes, Nilgai (blue deer), buffaloes, and cows, attacked the crops, causing major damage. This led to significant losses. The farmers have to keep a constant watch on the farm and be present throughout the day and night to defend it against the attacks of wild animals, which take up a significant amount of their time and energy. Also, eradication and control of pests become difficult because of the late detection of the location, number of pests, and kind of pest attacking the crop. This results in the wide spreading of the pest quickly and infecting a significant area of the crop before the farmer can take action. Farmers frequently spray an excessive amount of pesticide or pesticide that is not essential across the entire field, which results in an excess of hazardous chemicals in the farm, lowers the nutritional content of the produce, and negatively impacts the farmers' health. Overusing pesticides that are not strictly essential increases the financial burden placed on farmers and reduces the crop's nutritional value.
To further clarify advantages and features of the present invention, a more particular description of the invention will be rendered by reference to specific embodiments thereof, which is illustrated in the appended drawings. It is appreciated that these drawings depict only typical embodiments of the invention and are therefore not to be considered limiting of its scope.

This device showcases a well-structured sensor setup and an alerting system, wirelessly linked to the farmer's smartphone via a Wi-Fi network. The Wi-Fi source delivers data from a website that offers the farmer a comprehensive overview of various factors. These include information about approaching animals, crop-damaging pests, specific pest types, the location of the pests in the field, and their numbers. This information aims to assist the farmer in improving pest control and management while seeking solutions to address previously raised issues.
? Vision Devices – These are used to detect wild animals' and pest motion based on their body heat and temperature
? RF Communication – transferred information from the vision device to the Modern data logger.
? Modern Data logger- transferred information from the RF communication to the Local server.
Vibration and Temperature Sensors
These sensors are used to detect animals based on the thermal temperature/ body temperature. These Visual sensors are set up on the boundary of the field and connected with a solars well enclosed to protect it from the biotic and abiotic factors leading to damage or leakage. The sensors are placed slightly above the ground level or in the wrapped form to protect them from the dust collection on the sensors. The sensors sense a body's activity within the range of 10 meters (30 feet), with a body temperature other than the human body temperature, as the sensors can sense body heat ranging from -20 to+ 80 degree Celsius. The signals on sensing these body heat around would be transmitted by the sensors to the alarm system which activates it up and on activation, it would make a noise to distract those animals or to frighten them and would also alert the farmer and nearby people.
Motion Sensors:
They are used for Pest detection. They work by keeping track of the noise level of the insect. They are placed in a field. It measures the impact of chlorophyll on the leaves due to the attack of pest. It monitors leaf area index and helps identify an insect attack at an early stage. They are based on radiation measurement.
THERMOGRAPHY DISEASE DETECTION METHOD
? There are many parameters which help in the detection of the disease.
? It captures infrared radiations emitted from the plant surfaces.
? Increase in temperature of leaf due to pest activity affecting transpiration.
? It detects changes that occur by the disease, even before the symptoms appear.
All of the sensors would be connected to the convertor which would enable us to convert the receiving signals into the binary language to be read and stored in the data server which will be provided to the farmer through an application and it will notify the farmer even if he is not present there, about the animals crossing and the location of pests so that an early step can be taken towards crop protection.
CONNECTIVITY
The Farmer has been connective with the sensors through wireless connectivity. Which a farmer can be access through their devices. All information related to the animal activity, pest history, and present activity in the farm. With a data and the history of the activity of the farm being stored in the farm.
MAKERTED AREA
? The pest sensors will be sold with in a pillar like structure having a range of covering the farm, this will be setup as per the area of farm. The sensors will be attached on the corners and connected to the alarm.
? A subscription-based package would be given of the sensors.
? The package will be affordable.
