Agri-Cannon

• A potential device to protect crops/farms from
  Monkeys and Birds

Problem statement One of the major problems that
farmers of Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and other
neighbouring states are facing is a monkey
menace. Monkeys that enter the fields in groups
of 20-25 and have a field day, especially on
coconut trees and other seed bearing crops. They
enjoy drinking and eating tender coconuts and
seeds. Though it is nice to watch them carefully
plucking the coconuts, they cause a huge loss to
the farmers. They damage or vandalize the crops,
fields as they attack on the yield which is in
the seeding stage which ends up in huge losses
for the farmer. Wild animals cause significant
yield losses and provoke additional financial
problems. Human wildlife conflict is defined as
any interaction between wildlife and humans which
causes harm, whether it is to the human or the
wild animal or property.
