- Project Name: Smart Pest Control Drone for Areca Nut Farms
- Team Members:
- Poorva Reddy D
- Kavyashree K
- Margaret Sheela C
- Megha M V
- Description: The Smart Pest Control Drone is designed to address labor shortages and improve efficiency in areca nut farming by enabling precise pest control for tall areca nut trees. It features a fully vectored nozzle with automatic control, ensuring the accurate application of pesticides to maximize crop health and yield. An inbuilt camera allows for real-time supervision during operation, while a human operator controls the drone. A full charge allows the drone to cover up to 1 acre of farmland, making it highly efficient for large areas. This patented model is already in use, especially by farmers in and around Mangalore, significantly reducing labor costs and improving productivity.
