Welcome to the Smart Crop Protection project! This project aims to provide a solution for protecting crops from various environmental factors and pests using Arduino hardware. By leveraging Arduino's capabilities, this system offers an efficient and customizable way to monitor and safeguard crops.

• Environmental Monitoring: The system can monitor crucial environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity, soil moisture, and light intensity.
• Pest Detection: Using sensors and image processing techniques, pests can be detected early, allowing for prompt intervention.
• Automated Action: Based on predefined thresholds and conditions, the system can trigger actions such as irrigation, pesticide release, or alerts to the farmer.
• Customizable: Users can easily adjust parameters and settings to suit specific crop types and environmental conditions.
• Low-cost Solution: Arduino hardware offers a cost-effective platform for implementing crop protection systems, making it accessible to small-scale farmers.

• Arduino board (e.g., Arduino Uno, Arduino Nano)
• Sensors (e.g., temperature sensor, humidity sensor, soil moisture sensor, light sensor)
• Actuators (e.g., water pump, servo motor for pesticide release)
• Camera module (optional for pest detection)

1. Setup Hardware: Connect sensors and actuators to the Arduino board as per the provided schematics.
2. Install Arduino IDE: Download and install the Arduino IDE from Arduino's official website.
3. Upload Code: Upload the provided Arduino sketch to your Arduino board using the Arduino IDE.
4. Configure Settings: Adjust parameters such as threshold values and action triggers according to your requirements in the Arduino sketch.
5. Deploy: Place the hardware in the target crop field or greenhouse.
6. Monitor and Maintain: Regularly monitor the system's performance and make necessary adjustments to optimize crop protection.

• Environmental Monitoring: Check the readings from the sensors periodically to ensure environmental conditions are within acceptable ranges for the crops.
• Pest Detection: Monitor pest detection alerts generated by the system and take appropriate action to mitigate pest damage.
• Action Triggering: Ensure that actions triggered by the system, such as irrigation or pesticide release, are executed correctly and at the right time.
