Abstract: AI-Powered Smart Scarecrow for Precision Turmeric Farming with Autonomous Disease Detection and Pest Control This invention describes an AI-powered autonomous agricultural system designed for precision turmeric farming, integrating deep learning-based disease detection, IoT-driven pest deterrence, GPS-enabled disease localization, automated environmental monitoring, and solar-powered sustainable operation. The system utilizes multi-spectral imaging, Raman spectroscopy, and convolutional neural networks (CNN, VGG19, attention-based CNN models) to detect and classify rhizome rot and other crop diseases with high accuracy. A GPS- enabled mapping module ensures targeted treatment application, while an IoT-driven pest deterrence mechanism deploys ultrasonic waves, pheromone-based repulsion, and optical deterrents to protect crops. An automated environmental monitoring system continuously assesses humidity, temperature, and soil moisture, optimizing irrigation and soil conditioning strategies. Powered by solar energy, the system operates autonomously, transmitting real-time diagnostics and agronomic recommendations via a cloud-based mobile interface. This invention provides a cost-effective, sustainable, and intelligent solution for enhancing turmeric yield and minimizing losses due to disease, pests, and environmental stress.
