A Systematic Review of Various Advancements Implementation in the Field of Crop (Plant) Production

An essential component of agricultural output is pest management, especially in fertigation-based farming. Although fertigation systems in Malaysia are beneficial for irrigation and fertilization, they frequently don’t have effective pest control techniques. Because pests usually live beneath crop leaves, hand spraying is difficult and labor-intensive. Insect pests have the power to seriously harm, weaken, or even kill agricultural plants, which can lead to lower yields, worse-quality goods, and unsalable outcomes. Furthermore, insects may still cause harm to processed or stored items after harvest. Therefore, creating an autonomous pesticide sprayer specifically designed for chilli fertigation systems is the main goal of this research. The main goal is to create a sprayer arm that is flexible enough to reach under crop leaves. The goal of this project is to build an autonomous, unmanned pesticide sprayer. The goal of autonomous operation is to reduce the amount of dangerous pesticides that people are exposed to, especially in enclosed spaces like greenhouses. In addition, the sprayer arm’s adaptability to different agricultural circumstances makes it a valuable tool in both greenhouse and outdoor settings. It is expected that the successful adoption of the autonomous pesticide sprayer would completely transform fertigation-based farming’s approach to pest management.
