Abstract

Nowadays, there are many pesticide spraying technologies available in the market still farmers are still facing challenges during spraying. As the modern technique has drawbacks hence, we are going with this method. The objective of this project is to design a device that is capable of producing a more effective pesticide sprayer with a remotely controlled vehicle for use in small industries in the agricultural sector. The proposed system is an RF-based vehicle and sprayer control for effective spraying and which overcomes the health issue. Although commonly utilized, the traditional farming spraying approach has several drawbacks. First of all, it frequently lacks accuracy, which results in ineffective fertilizer or pesticide application. When spraying too widely or unintentionally spreading beyond the intended region, this inaccurate application can lead to waste and environmental issues. Additionally, farmworkers may be exposed to toxins during the application process of traditional spraying methods, which could be harmful to their health. Furthermore, these techniques can be labour- and time-intensive, particularly in bigger fields, which raises expenses and lowers production. Moreover, there's a chance of uneven coverage, which lower could crop quality and output by giving some areas too much and others not enough spraying material. Normal pesticide sprayers take longer to accomplish pesticide spraying. It can speed up the spraying procedure for the plants. Remote-controlled sprayers are used to make work more efficient, uniform, and cost-effective. This pump is suitable for large liquid fillings at low pressures. Due to weight restrictions, drones are limited in how much fertilizer or pesticides they can carry on a single flight. This restriction, particularly when covering bigger fields, may lead to frequent refills, longer operating times, and decreased overall efficiency. The existing system was developed with Ardupiolet which achieves more accuracy and can control the whole system and monitor various parameters.
