Abstract: Crops in farms are many times ravaged by local animals like buffaloes, cows, goats, birds, and fire etc. This leads to huge losses for the farmers. It is not possible for farmers to barricade entire fields or stay on field 24 hours and guard it. So here we propose automatic crop protection system from animals and fire. This is a arduino Uno based system using microcontroller. This system uses a motion sensor to detect wild animals approaching near the field and smoke sensor to detect the fire. In such a case the sensor signals the microcontroller to take action. The microcontroller now sounds an alarm to woo the animals away from the field as well as sends SMS to the farmer and makes call, so that farmer may know about the issue and come to the spot in case the animals don’t turn away by the alarm. If there is a smoke, it immediately turns ON the motor. This ensures complete safety of crops from animals and from fire thus protecting the farmer’s loss.
