Ultrasonic Locust Repellent Circuit

Locusts are insects that form enormous swarms that spread and destroy the crops and livestock. These cause a high level of agricultural damage. In 2020, locusts have caused damages in many countries namely Kenya, Ethiopia, Somalia, Uganda, Eritrea, India, Iran, Yemen, Oman and Saudi Arabia. This year is not going as per anyone’s plan. It saw an outbreak of this swarm, which nearly destroyed 3.5 lakh hectare of crops in the regions of Rajasthan and Gujarat. Crops of mustard, wheat and cumin were eaten up by them and thus causing great amount of losses to the farmer, so we have come up with a system that repel locust when exposed to ultrasonic frequency (more than 30 KHz this have been achieved by using basic electronics components and we have tried to make it cost effective for ground level implementation. This is going to help a lot of farmers which will save crores of rupees, this idea is going to be the foundation of upcoming electronic components made using this idea.
