Control and management of L. Orbonalis using WSNs

Leucinodes Orbonalis commonly called as Brinjal Borer the main destructive pest of poor Farmer's crop, has a high reproductive cycle in both dry and wet season. Not much effective controlling of these pests are available as they bore inside the shoot, stem and fruits. Monitoring of pests in the field needs a huge human effort which is not accurate but time consuming, hence, automation in agriculture is a big need of the day. Automated spraying of Vermiwash along with the extracts of Neem oil, Garlic and Custard Apple Leaves at periodic intervals using Wireless Sensor Networks has yielded good results. As the presence of pest is detected by the sensor bio-pesticides are sprayed according to the need which are totally safe for plants, Environment and Human health.
