DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A SCARING TECHNIQUE FOR RICE FARM BIRD INTRUSION SYSTEM IN AGRICULTURAL ENVIRONMENT

Abstract

This paper presents the design and implementation of a system that detects and scares off a bird from a rice farm. Presently, there are a large number of rising problems associated with pest birds in residential, industrial, and agricultural zones. This research implements the use of the siren system as a buzzer, and the entire design was carried out using the proteus design software with and Arduino IDE extension. The intrusion system was designed to operate in two different modes namely, normal and security modes.  Proper programming was done using the Arduino IDE so as to enable the interface of the attached sensors and the Arduino UNO board. The results show that at normal mode 1, when sensor 1 was high or low and when sensor 2 was low or high, the siren was OFF. Also, at normal mode 2, when sensor 1 was high or low and when sensor 2 was high or low, the siren was OFF. Also, in security mode, when sensor 1 was high or low and when sensor 2 was high or high, the siren was ON. This indicates that at normal modes, the system will not sound the siren when both sensors are active or inactive, while, in security mode the system will sound the siren when both sensors are active or when either sensor are active.
