SMART CROP PROTECTION FROM ANIMALS USING PIC
CONTROLLER
4. 4
ABSTRACT
• Crops in farms are many times ravaged by local animals like buffaloes, cows,
goats, birds etc. This leads to huge losses for the farmers.
• This project aims to develop an innovative crop protection system that utilizes a
PIC microcontroller, IR sensor, and ESP32.
• ESP32 module to detect the presence of animals in crop fields.
• The system is designed to send an email notification to the farmer when an
animal is detected, enabling swift response and prevention of potential crop
damage.
• The PIC microcontroller processes sensor data, while the ESP32 handles
communication for sending email alerts.
• The incorporation of this technology not only enhances crop security but also
facilitates a more efficient and sustainable agricultural practice.

INTRODUCTION
• In the world, the economy of many countries is dependent upon agriculture. Inspite of
economic development agriculture is the backbone of the economy.
• Agriculture plays a crucial role in sustaining human life, but farmers often face
challenges such as crop damage caused by wildlife.
• An advanced crop protection system utilizing modern technology is proposed to
address this issue.
• This system employs a combination of a PIC microcontroller, an IR (Infrared) sensor,
and an ESP32 module to detect and deter animals from approaching crops.
• The develop system will not harmful and injurious to animal as well as human beings.
• Theme of project is to design a intelligent security system for farm protection.

OBJECTIVES
The objective of implementing smart crop protection using a PIC microcontroller typically
involves developing a system that can monitor and protect crops effectively. Here some
common objectives of this project:
• Preventing Crop Damage : The primary objective is to protect crops from damage caused
by animals like deer, rabbits, etc. This can help increase crop yields and reduce losses.
• Cost Reduction : Implementing a smart system can be more cost-effective than manual
methods of crop protection, such as hiring guards or using physical barriers.
• Security : Use sensors to detect intruders or wildlife that may damage the crops and
trigger appropriate actions like alarms.
• Remote Control : Allow farmers to control and monitor the system remotely, possibly
through a smartphone.
• Low Maintenance : Ensure that the system is easy to maintain and doesn't require constant
attention from farmers.

METHODOLOGY
1. Hardware Setup :
a. PIC Microcontroller : Controls the
overall system, processes sensor data, and
triggers alert.
b. IR Sensor : Detects infrared radiation
emitted by animals, indicating their presence.
c. Buzzer : Provides an audible alert when
an animal is detected.
d. ESP32 Module : Enables communication
with the internet for sending alerts.
8. 8
METHODOLOGY
2. IR Sensor Monitoring :
a. The PIC microcontroller continuously monitors
the digital signal from the IR sensor.
b. When an animal is detected, the IR sensor sends a
signal to the PIC microcontroller, indicating a change
in infrared radiation.
3. Buzzer Activation :
a. Upon detecting a change in the IR sensor signal, the
PIC microcontroller activates the buzzer by sending a digital signal to
the connected pin.
b. The buzzer produces an audible alert on-site to notify
anyone in the vicinity.

METHODOLOGY
4. Email Alert Trigger :
a. Simultaneously, the PIC microcontroller sends
a signal to the ESP32, indicating the detection of an
animal.
b. The ESP32, connected to the internet, uses
a suitable library (e.g. SMTP) to send an email alert to
the farmer's designated email address.
5. Power Management :
a. Implement power-efficient modes to prolong
the system's battery life, ensuring longterm
functionalit

CONSTRUCTION AND
WORKING
• This device is using 8 bit PICMicrocontroller,Buzzer , Esp32,
rheostat (10k), battery 9v, IR Sensor LED,Optocoupler.
• Whenever there is attack by animals by crops in agricul- ture
field, this system detects sound produced by buzzer and
generate email alert within seconds to field owner.
• It also has sound alarm facility and display system. This system
can detect fire more than 10 feet .
• Burning of crops can happen due to several reasons like spark
in power cables which are going through field, thundering of
light, accidently via any fire source etc

CONSTRUCTION AND
WORKING
• If proper devices are installed in fields, lots of loss can be reduced by taking proper
actions in advance.
• This device is based on motion detecting sensor and is developed especially for
crop monitoring in agriculture fields, farms, wet lands, for-ests etc.
• ESP32 module is use to send email alert to user on mobile whenever there is fire
broken out in field. It will also generate buzzer sound to alarm nearby people to
take proper action to diminish crops protected by smart farming.
• With continuous status of crops in field, appropriate arrangements can be made in
ad-vance to avoid any loss/emergency.
• This model has LCD display to display flame intensity. This device is quite
economical with most economical cost. Apart from that, this device can be used in
industries, hospitals, homes, sites etc to detectfire.

RESULTS
1. The problem of crop vandalization by wild animals and fire has be- come a
major social problem in current time.
2. It requires urgent attention as no effective solution exists till date for this
problem.
3. Thus this project carries a great social relevance as it aims to address this
problem. This project will help farmers in protecting their or- chards and
fields and save them from significant financial losses and will save them
from the unproductive efforts that they endure for the protection their
fields.
4. This will also help them in achieving better crop yields thus leading to their
economic wellbeing

CONCLUSION
• The proposed crop protection system successfully combines PIC microcontroller, IR
sensor, and ESP32 module to create an intelligent and responsive solution for
safeguarding crops against wildlife threats.
• By leveraging the capabilities of these technologies, farmers can receive timely alerts
and take immediate action to prevent potential crop damage.
• This system not only enhances agricultural efficiency but also promotes sustainable
farming practices by reducing losses caused by animal intrusion.
• Further improvements and optimizations can be explored to tailor the system to
specific agricultural environments and challenges.

FUTURE SCOPE
• In the future, there will be very large scope
• This project can be made based on wireless networks.
• Wireless sensor network and sensors of different types are used to collect the
information of crop conditions.
• This information is transmitted through network to the farmer that initiates
corrective actions.
• Farmers are connected and aware of the conditions of the agricultural field at
anytime and anywhere in the world.
