Agriculture in India constitutes more than 60% of the occupation. It serves to be the backbone of Indian economy. It is very important to improve the efficiency and productivity of agriculture by simultaneously providing safe cultivation of the farmers. Operations like spraying of pesticides, sprinkling fertilizers are very tedious. Use of drones for spraying of pesticides and sprinkling fertilizers can avoid health risks of farmer. Drones are the best option for capturing high resolution images. For remote sensing, aerial images are a very precise and convenient source of data for agricultural management. Mostly, satellite images have been used as the primary source of information for analyzing crop status in precision agriculture.Drones can used for chemical spraying. UAV estimation of crop nutrient status can directly benefit the application rate recommendations by producer or agronomist consultant by including the entirety of the field.An analysis can be performed with UAVs that has no equivalent in satellite sensors: a three-dimensional representation of surface conditions, also known as digital elevation models (DEMs).. Drones are a solid option for monitoring herds from overhead, tracking the quantity and activity level of animals on one’s field.

The use of pesticides in agriculture is essential to maintain the quality of large scale production. The spraying of these products by using aircraft speeds up the process and prevents compacting of the soil. However, adverse weather conditions e.g. the speed and direction of the wind can impair the effectiveness of the spraying of pesticides in a target crop field. Thus, there is a risk that the pesticide can drift to neighboring crop fields. It is believed that a large amount of all the pesticide used in the world drifts outside of the target crop field and only a small amount is effective in controlling pests. However, with increased precision in the spraying, it is possible to reduce the amount of pesticide used and improve the quality of agricultural products as well as mitigate the risk of environmental damage. In the past several years, UAV has been extensively used in agriculture. However, the efficiency is still not as high as desired and the phenomenon of pesticide pollution is still existing. This is mainly because of the following two problems 1 the autonomy of most existing UAV system is still very limited.

“Fabrication Of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) For Agricultural Purposesvivatechijri
There are too many technologies involved in today’s Agriculture, out of which spraying pesticides
using drones is one of the emerging technologies. Manual pesticide spraying causes many harmful side effects
for the personnel involved in the spraying process. Birth defects, cancers, genetic changes, blood and nerve
disorders, endocrine disturbance, coma, and death are also potential side effects of exposure. The World Health
Organization estimates that one million cases of disease have been affected by the manual spraying of pesticides
in the crop field. This paved the way to design a drone mounted with spraying mechanism having 12 V pump, 2
Litre storage capacity tank, 4 nozzles to atomize in fine spray , an hex copter configuration frame ,suitable
landing frame, 6 Brushless Direct Current (BLDC) motors with suitable propellers to produce required thrust
about 12 KG(at 100% RPM) and suitable Lithium Polymer (LI-PO) battery of current capacity 8000 MAH and
14.4 V to meet necessary current and voltage requirements. This pesticide spraying drone cuts down on
pesticide application time, labour, and expense. By adjusting the flow discharge of the pump, this sort of drone
may also be used to spray disinfectant liquids over houses, water sources, and densely populated areas. The
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) reduces the direct handling of pesticides by human beings and helps to
protect them from any injury which will give to them by pesticides. Also, the entire area chosen by the drone is
sprayed and covered very well. There are many processes to fabricate a UAV for the use of agricultural
activities. The processes like drilling, CNC milling,3D printing are required to fabricate the above model.

The adoption of modern technologies in agriculture, such as the use of drones have great potential to revolutionize the Indian agriculture and ensure country's food security.
The farmers face many problems like unavailability or high cost of labours , health problems by coming in contact with chemicals (fertilizers, pesticides, etc.) while applying them in the field, bite by insects or animals, etc. In this context, drones can help farmers in avoiding these troubles in conjunction with the benefits of being a green technology.
Design and Structural Analysis for an Autonomous UAV System Consisting of Sla...IOSR Journals
Abstract: An Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is an aircraft without a human pilot. It can either be controlled manually by a pilot on the ground using a trans-receiver or it can be programmed to operate autonomously. In this proposed control system, multiple slave Micro Aerial Vehicles(MAV) are dispatched from a master UAV for surveillance. All the MAVs are synchronized with each other through the master UAV which highlights their purpose and position. The master UAV acts as a mobile base for the surveillance, it stores the data collected by the MAVs and transmits them to a remote base. A design of the UAV-MAV system and its performance analysis is presented.

Design of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) for Agricultural Purposesvivatechijri
: In the present age, there are a lot of improvement in precision agriculture for augmenting the
crop productivity. Especially, in the developing countries like India, more than 70% of the rural people
depends upon the agriculture fields. The agriculture faces striking losses due to the diseases. These
diseases came from the pests and insets, therefore productivity of crops is attenuated. Pesticides and
fertilizers are used to eradicate the insects and pests in order to enhance the crop quality. The WHO
(World Health Organization) estimated as one million cases of ill effected, when spraying the pesticides in
the crop filed manually. The Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) – aircrafts are used to spray the pesticides to
avoid the health problems of humans when they spray manually. UAVs can be used easily, where the
equipment and labors difficulty to operate. This paper reviews briefly the implementation of UAVs for
pesticide spraying.Various parameters like temperature, humidity, rain, etc affect the production rate of
crops. 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. The Exposure
effects can range from mild skin irritation to birth defects, tumors, genetic changes, blood and nerve
disorders, endocrine disruption, coma or death. This research paper will show how UAVs can reduce
human efforts in various operations of agriculture like spraying of pesticides, spraying of fertilizers, etc.
Where dense and very tall rows of crops are in place it is difficult to quickly access centrally located
crops on foot or by land vehicle without damaging some crops in the process, but these areas can be
safely and rapidly over flown by light weight drone aircraft with no damage to crops.In this research
paper we propose a design of the model, which will spray fertilizers and pesticides which can be
controlled by remote controller. The model will be a Hexacopter UAV with spraying mechanism. The
frame of Hexacopter will be made of Hollow Aluminium pipe with carbon fibre rods inside it which will
make the frame light weight and the strength of frame will increase. The arms of Hexacopter are foldable
hence the drone becomes compact in size. The spraying mechanism consist of a 2L tank, pump and 4 nozzles
for effective spraying, resulting in convenience to the farmers
Fundamental Research on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles to Support Precision Agricul...Redmond R. Shamshiri
Unmanned aerial vehicles carrying multimodal sensors for precision agriculture (PA) applications face adaptation challenges to satisfy reliability, accuracy, and timeliness. Unlike ground platforms, UAV/drones are subjected to additional considerations such as payload, flight time, stabilization, autonomous missions, and external disturbances. For instance, in oil palm plantations (OPP), accruing high resolution images to generate multidimensional maps necessitates lower altitude mission flights with greater stability. This chapter addresses various UAV-based smart farming and PA solutions for OPP including health assessment and disease detection, pest monitoring, yield estimation, creation of virtual plantations, and dynamic Web-mapping. Stabilization of UAVs was discussed as one of the key factors for acquiring high quality aerial images. For this purpose, a case study was presented on stabilizing a fixed-wing Osprey drone crop surveillance that can be adapted as a remote sensing research platform. The objective was to design three controllers (including PID, LQR with full state feedback, and LQR plus observer) to improve the automatic flight mission. Dynamic equations were decoupled into lateral and longitudinal directions, where the longitudinal dynamics were modeled as a fourth order two-inputs-two-outputs system. State variables were defined as velocity, angle of attack, pitch rate, and pitch angle, all assumed to be available to the controller. A special case was considered in which only velocity and pitch rate were measurable. The control objective was to stabilize the system for a velocity step input of 10m/s. The performance of noise effects, model error, and complementary sensitivity was analyzed.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.

3. INTRODUCTION
Agriculture in India constitutes more than 60% of the occupation
It serves to be the backbone of Indian economy
It is very important to improve the efficiency and productivity of
agriculture
Operations like spraying of pesticides, sprinkling fertilizers and other are
very tedious
Use of drones for spraying of pesticides and sprinkling fertilizers can avoid
health risks of farmer (Chavan et al, 2017).
3
4. Drone is an unpiloted, autonomous unmanned aircraft
Remotely controlled or autonomously flown
Autonomously flown drones works based on pre-programmed flight
plans or more complex dynamic automation systems
Drones are also known as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV)
Drones typically fly at low altitudes
(Huang et al., 2013)
4
5. Drones are Mini model fixed-wing airplanes or rotary-winged helicopters
Low cost
Low speed
Low ceiling altitude
Light weight
Low payload weight capability
(Huang et al., 2013)
5
7. Fixed wing drones
Fixed-wing drones have long-
range flight capacity
Large area can be covered
Crash tolerant
Can cover over 1000 acres at 1.0
inch resolution a day
(Andrade, 2013)
7
8. MULTIROTOR DRONES
Faster to set up in the field
can take off and land vertically
No need to plan takeoffs and landings.
Used for small scale and research
operations under 50 acres
For inexperienced operators, these are
the easiest way to get up and running
quickly
(Andrade, 2013).

13. REMOTE SENSE IMAGING
Drones are the best option for capturing high resolution images
Satellite remote sensing is severely limited by cloud cover, and may not be
available at desired times (Tokekar et al., 2013)
Real time high resolution images can captured, especially where small
productive areas have to be monitored (Lelong et al., 2008)
Quadcopter and other drones are the best choice of mapping the remote sensing
data(Meivel et al., 2016)
This remote sensing data is used to map the growth of crops, moisture level and
more (Meivel et al., 2016)

14. Evapotranspiration and Soil Moisture
Evapotranspiration (ET) and soil moisture
are necessary to estimate water irrigation
needs (Allen et al., 1998)
Estimating ET using UAV technology
requires temperature camera sensor along
with local weather station information
(USGS., 2016; Irish., 2000)
Figure shows an ET estimation map and
moisture (Allen et al., 1998) across a
vineyard field in California, area 300 acres

15. Crop Nutrient Monitoring
A major economic input for any
agricultural season is the application of
fertilizers
UAV estimation of crop nutrient status in
the soil is very accurate
specialized camera sensors such as optical
and thermal cameras, are used for sensing
nutrient status in the soil,(Al-Arab et al.,
2013; Torres-Rua et al., 2002 )

16. Chemical spraying
Drones can used for chemical spraying
In 2010 Zhu et al. have developed remote
controlled UAV for spraying
It is proved that higher precision and
efficiency can achieved using UAV for
spray applications
Yamaha is selling (since 2001) a remote-
controlled helicopter-UAV that can be
used to seed, spray rice, or spread granules Integrated spraying system with PWM
controller, where: (A) pump box; (B)
PWM controller box (Zhu et al., 2010) 16
17. Advantages
Using drones it is possible to very high resolution images
It is low cast technology compared to satellite
Real time data can be viewed
Agriculture productivity can be increased
Disadvantages
Performance of current UAVs is still limited in terms of payload, range and/or accuracy.
Fixed-wing vehicles can carry more, but cannot be positioned exactly as they have to keep
flying
Use of drones creates unemployment

19. OBJECTIVES
To overcome the ill-effects of pesticides on human beings (manual
pesticide sprayers)
To cover larger areas of fields while spraying pesticides in a short span of
time when compared to a manual sprayer.

20. MATERIAL AND METHODS
HARDWARE DESCRIPTION
ATmega168
High Performance, Low Power AVR® 8-Bit Microcontroller.
BLDC(2200mAh,20C)
Brushless DC electric motor is used with inverter
ESC
ESC is used to control BLDC motor
Accelerometer Sensor
The accelerometer measures acceleration
It is used to maintain orientation of the device
20
21. Gyroscope Sensor
It measure angular velocity
LiPo battery
can be found in a single cell (3.7V) to in a pack of over 10 cells connected in
series (37V).
A popular choice of battery for a Quadcopter is the 3SP1 batteries which
means three cells connected in series as one parallel,
which should give us 11.1V 21
23. PESTICIDE SPRAYING MECHANISM
pesticide tank of capacity 180 ml,
submersible dc motor pump with 9
V battery
Switch used for ON and OFF
pipes fitted to T-split and mini
nozzles
23
24. When the switch is turned ON, the
motor pumps the pesticides through
the pipe.
The pipes supply the pesticides to
the nozzles via the T-split so that it
sprays with a certain pressure and
uniformity, thereby avoiding
wastage.
24
25. RESULTS
The spraying time of pesticides is dependent on the quantity of pesticide to
be sprayed
For 1000 ml of pesticides, spraying time is around 5 minutes
To increase spraying quantity the weight lifting capacity of the quadcopter
must be increased
This is done by choosing higher specification of BLDC i.e. more than 1000
rpm/kV
25
26. The flight time of the quadcopter is around 8 minutes
To increase the flight time we need to choose higher specification for LiPO
battery.
The height of spraying is around 6-7 feet.
The area covered is 10 feet by 10 feet.
26
27. CONCLUSION
In agriculture, application of pesticides and fertilizers is important at
specific times and at specific locations to control pests.
Quadcopters are manoeuvrable, cheaper to operate, and require less capital
costs
Quadcopter can be used to spray on hilly terrains.
Reduces ill effects to humans while spraying manually.
Increases the efficiency of spraying.
27
28. This can also be used in places where labourers are hard to find.
It can substitute 50 workers thus saving 50 workers from the harmful
effects.
Reduces the time for spraying when compared to manual spraying

Fig.The landscape where aerial photographs
using the UAV (unmanned Aerial vehicle)
were taken 31
32. The aerial photography using an aircraft was taken at altitude 2400 m
resolution about 24 cm/pixel, scale1/20,000 (photographic camera: DMC )
The aerial photography using UAV was the altitude of about 10 m
Resolution:3 mm/pixel and scale:1/546.4 (photographic camera: richo newgr)
The scale and resolution ratios were 36.6 and 80.0 times respectively,
compared with those of aerial photography using an aircraft.
32
33. The schematic diagram of the general process of mapping using the UAV method is
shown in below fig
The schematic diagram of mapping using the UAV method
33
34. The aerial photography using UAV was
conducted over a 1.5 km section upstream
from the Niida River estuary (the secondary
river flowing into Minamisoma City in
Fukushima Prefecture) in Agust 2012
Fixed photography points were set up in a
line from the right bank to the left bank at
approximately 20 m intervals
aerial photographs at 5 m above the ground
surface was taken.
There were 13 line numbers in the
investigated section from upstream to
downstream. each line included 8 fixed
photography points, for a total of 104 points UAV photography lines and points (No. 1-
13). *There were 8 fixed Photography
points on each line. 34
35. RESULTS
In the aerial photographs of
the main plant communities
(Phragmites australis, Typha
domingensis, and
Miscanthussacchariflorus)
taken by the UAV, a clear
discrimination of each plant
community was possible at
a scale of 1/50. At a scale of
1/10,
it was possible to clearly
confirm the shape of an
individual plant
(a) Phragmites australis community; (b) Typha domingensis community;
(c) Miscanthus sacchariflorus community photographed by UAV methods
(the photo on the right is a close-up of the photo on the left).
35
36. The borders among the plant communities and mixes of different plant
species in the vicinity of the community borders could also be
discriminated at this scale.
An example of this resolution is the discrimination between the
Phragmites australis/Scirpus yagara community and the Phragmites
australis/Typha domingensis community

UAV method, and the difference in precision was remarkable.
The vegetation map created using the UAV method could clearly discriminate community
divisions and distributions

40. Conclusions
The aerial photography using UAV was conducted in the Niida River ,Japan
The aerial photographs of the main plant communities (Phragmites australis, Typha
domingensis, and Miscanthus sacchariflorus) was taken at the 1/50 scale
Clearly discriminate plant community distributions
It can conclude that vegetation surveys using UAV are possible and are capable of a highly
precise community division in places where field reconnaissance is difficult
