DESC:TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of agricultural machinery and securing system thereof. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to an automated system for controlled and secured access of agricultural machines, and user-defined request for the agricultural machines and services.

BACKGROUND
[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] Since the start of green revolution in India and other parts of the world whose lifeline and economy mainly depend on agriculture, use of agricultural machines and agriculture enhancing chemicals (agrochemicals) such as fertilizers, insecticides, pesticides, herbicides, nematicides, and nutrient rich chemicals to protect crops and provide required nutrients to the crops, for improved crop production, have significantly grown.
[0004] Farmers use agricultural machines such as spraying machines, sowing machines, and harvesters etc. to perform various agricultural processes on their land and crops. Traditionally, farmers use knapsack type spraying machine for spraying these agrochemicals (fertilizers, insecticides, herbicides, nematicides, pesticides, chemicals, and other products) on their farm or crop. Farmers have to manually operate these knapsack type spraying machine and have to cover their entire farm on foot. Such practice is time consuming and labor intensive. Further, spraying of agrochemicals by unskilled and less knowledgeable farmers is also health hazardous, inefficient, and wastes a lot of money of the farmers.
[0005] Framers are mostly not well educated and lack proper knowledge about the type and required quantity of agrochemicals to be sprayed on their crops and farm. Further, farmers lack proper knowledge about the type of agricultural machines to be used on their farm. This lack of knowledge significantly affects the yield of the crops, and also wastes money and time of the farmers. In many cases, use of wrong or hazardous agrochemicals (bought from a secondary and unauthorized market) on the crops and farm can be life threatening for the farmer or person spraying the agrochemicals, as well as the population consuming such crops or farm products produced using these agrochemicals.
[0006] Various vehicle based spraying machines are also present in the market, which are used to spray agrochemicals on bigger farm area. Such vehicle based spraying machines includes a tanker filled with agrochemicals positioned on a vehicle, and long pipe with multiple holes to spray the chemicals. These machines solve the problems of the spraying process being labor intensive and time consuming, by making the process easy in lesser time.
[0007] However, such vehicle based spraying machines and other agricultural machines (sowing machines, harvester, etc.) face the same problem of being operated by unskilled farmers or operators who do not have the proper knowledge of correct type of agricultural machines and required quantity of agrochemicals to be used on their crops and farm. In addition, these machines fail to solve problem of incorrect and hazardous agrochemicals being used by the unskilled farmer or operators.
[0008] Further, even though if authentic and safe type of agrochemicals are being filled in the existing knapsack type and vehicle based spraying machines for spraying, these machines/sprayers can be accessed and driven by ideally any unauthorized person who could drive the vehicle and do spraying. This unauthorized accessing and control of the knapsack type and vehicle based spraying machines leads to theft, adulteration of agrochemicals to be sprayed, and improper spraying of chemicals by unskilled farmers and operators
[0009] There is, therefore, a need to provide a system for controlled and secured access of agricultural machines, and user defined request for agricultural machines, which allows authorized user to request for agricultural machines and services, and grants access and operation of these agricultural machines after proper authentication of operators, users (farmers), and agrochemicals to be sprayed. Further, there is, a need to provide a system that allows users to feed data pertaining to their farm, crops, acreage, type of agricultural service and/or chemicals required to be sprayed using a mobile computing device and mobile app, to facilitate authorized operators to reach to the user (farm or land) with corresponding agricultural machines based on the data fed by the farmers.
