Abstract:
Borer pests are responsible for tremendous destruction of forest resources and reducing the green coverage in the globe. They also cause losses in produces of commercial crops, thus torment to the farmers. In this paper, we have presented the results of spectro-photometric method of chlorophyll absorbance measurement of Cashew leaves, which shows that there is considerable change in the chlorophyll content, which means tree is under attack by pest. Also, in this paper, we have proposed the design of an portable embedded system which can perform the prompt and accurate early detection of the pest infestation by analysing the change in Chlorophyll content. The whole system will be designed around the ARM controller.
