Crop damage caused by the animal attack is one of the major threats in reducing the crop yield. The farm areas near the forest edges are prominently affected by the wild animal attacks. This paper presents the development of a Wireless Sensor Network application for Crop Protection to divert animal intrusions in the crop field. The nodes in the crop field are equipped with PIR sensors, sound generating devices, light flashers and RF module. For early detection of the animal at the perimeter of the farm intrusion detection system is installed. Animal entry at the farm boundary is detected by the nodes fixed at the boundary and is communicated to the central base station. The sequence of the node activation is location based, time based and proximity based. On receiving this information the nodes in the vicinity of the animal activates the deterring gadgets and diverts the animal away from the field. A Graphical User Interface has also been made to indicate the status of the field conditions. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
