BETELUNT HARVESTED CROP PROTECTION FROM HEAVY RAINFALL

Abstract: The protection of betel nut trees is of paramount importance in agricultural practices, especially in regions where betel nut cultivation is a significant source of livelihood. However, ensuring the safety and well-being of these trees amidst environmental challenges such as heavy rainfall, sudden changes in light intensity, and fire outbreaks poses a considerable challenge to farmers. Traditional methods of protection often involve manual monitoring, which is labor intensive and may not guarantee timely intervention. To address these challenges, this project proposes an innovative Betel Nut Protection System that integrates various sensors, Arduino-based automation, and GSM technology to enhance the responsiveness and effectiveness of betel nut tree protection. The system aims to provide real-time detection of environmental factors and trigger appropriate responses, such as closing protective curtains and sending SMS alerts to farmers, even when they are off-site. By leveraging advanced technology, the proposed system seeks to revolutionize betel nut cultivation practices, ensuring the sustainability and productivity of this vital agricultural sector.
