 INTRODUCTION

● Crops in farms are many times ravaged by rains and

by local animals like buffaloes, cows, goats, birds, etc.
This leads to huge losses for the farmers.
● It is not possible for farmers to barricade entire fields
or stay on the field for 24 hours and guard it.
● So here we propose an automatic crop protection
system from rain and animals.
● This system involves the protection of crops by
an auto roof that covers the required area.
OBJECTIVE

● The main objective behind this project

is to protect the harvested crops from
heavy rain and to protect it from animals.
● The rain sensor is used for the working
of the roof when there is rainfall.
 ABSTRACT

In this project we present idea related to Agricultural Based System in which as per our observation
during the rainy seasons the cultivated crops gets affected due to the heavy rainfall. The main
theme of this project which is presented in the paper is that to prevent the crops from the heavy
rain. The rain sensor is used for the working of automatic roof. This system involves protection of
the crops by the auto roof which covers the whole field. The rain sensor is activated when there is a
rain fall and it will indicate to the DC motor and it will automatically close the roof. In this project, the
roof is open automatically when the sensor is not detected the rain. This complete system can be
handled manually. The Direct power supply can also be fabricated which affect the basic cost to
build entire system.
EXISTING SYSTEM

The current work entails preserving the unique resources that are available to mankind. We
can limit the flow of water and so eliminate waste by assessing the status of the soil
productively. Water stream can be obligated by substantially sending by knowing the state of
moistness, and temperature over with the use of unexpectedness and temperature sensors.
There are currently no effective frameworks available in the current situation. The farmer must
go to the drying region and cover the gathered fields, which is particularly difficult if the
farmer's location is distant from the harvest and the entire crop would be pummeled by the
downpour before the farmer arrives.
DISADVANTAGES
● The greenhouse has certain limitations such as it cannot be adjusted to climatic conditions
and it will not allow the sun to pass through the crop.

● Most of the existing systems concentrated on covering the crop from rainfall by providing a
roof over the crop rather than focusing on the water level required for a particular crop.

● If the crop needs a certain amount of water in such case farmer needs to permit the rain over
the crop and once it’s having sufficient amount of water content then he can protect the crop
by covering it with a roof.

● Though we preserve the rainwater during rainfall, later if the farmer wants to use it for the
crops it consumes more electrical power.

● The rainwater still is a huge cause of soil erosion as the rainwater from the cover still
gets immersed in the soil.
PROPOSED SYSTEM
To overcome the limitations of existing system, we have proposed a framework that covers the
harvested crops from heavy precipitation and navigates this water to the nearest storage
chamber to avoid soil erosion and have the least impact on crop yield. The method consists of
ATMEGA328P Microcontroller, NodeMCU WIFI module to control the system from a nearby
place, Soil Moisture Sensor, LCD which will give live readings to the farmer.
ADVANTAGES

● Protection of harvested crop from rain.

● Protection of crop from animals.
● The proposed system works for longer period.
● The roof has flexibility to use whenever it is required.
● Preserved rainwater can be used for the crops or household and irrigation purpose.

CONCLUSION
Smart automation system against environmental impacts protects crops from an excess amount of rain and
animals. Using this system eliminates human power and the requirement to provide an automatic roof
mechanism.
FUTURE ENHANCEMENTS
● This model also comes with manual control mode with SMS. That is owner or farmer can
open/close the roof manually by sending an SMS.
● Fan can be operated by using a soil sensor also . If the crops are sensed wet then fan will be
ON . If the crops are sensed dry then fan will be OFF.
● This system can be used for drying clothes.
● This system can be used for protecting vehicles from rain.
