Abstract:
Crops production and grain efficiency decreases due to poor maintenance of the farm and pest attack. Birds eat sown grains which considering decreases plant population, hence other all production. Wind and solar powered bird repeller was best solution for small and marginal farmers to protect farm from pest bird. A solar and wind powered bird repeller was developed in this study to small and marginal farmers, it consisted of two units, in which one was wind powered and other one was solar powered. The wind powered system consisted of wind vane, bearing, mirror reflector and reflecting plastic material. Wind powered was developed based on reflection principle to scare bird by disturbance through sun light. Solar powered system consisted of solar panel, battery, wires, dc motor, solar charge controller, Microcontroller (Node MCU), L298N motor driver, relay, metal plates. The Node Microcontroller (Node MCU) controlled the time interval of the repeller and also control the system was switching on and off through the Wi-Fi. The combine wind and solar powered bird repeller system was found quite effective to scare the bird from the field.
