❖ The Problem with Current Methods: Waste, Resistance and Environment Harm
Excessive Chemical Use Pest Resistance Development Environmental Degradation
Broad-spectrum spraying Constant, widespread exposure runoff contaminates soil and water,
Saturates entire fields, even accelerates the evolution of harming non-target organisms,
Healthy plants, wasting valuable pesticide-resistant pests, making biodiversity and human health.
Resources and pollutes the soil. Treatments less effective over time.

Squad Introducing the Smart Sprinkler: Farmer-
Controlled, Targeted Pesticide Application
Our system empowers farmers to spray pesticides only where needed by
activating individual or group sprinklers with controlled range and
pressure.
Imagine a future where farmers decide when and where to spray,
supported by AI suggestions and expert guidance. Our smart sprinkling
system makes this possible by allowing flexible control over pesticide
delivery
Benefits:
•Minimizes chemical use by targeting only affected crop areas
•Empowers farmers with full control over sprinklers
(individual or group activation)
•Reduces environmental pollution and protects beneficial organisms

Squad Observation, AI Assistance, and Smart
Sprinkler Delivery Mechanism
The core of our system lies in its farmer-centric and technology-assisted approach:
01 02
Farmer-Controlled Observation AI-Assisted Diagnosis & Expert Support
Instead of only real-time sensors, farmers take the lead in AI provides suggestions on the type and severity of infection,
monitoring their crops through the app. They can input but the final call is with the farmer. Through the app, farmers
their own observations, supported by camera/sensor data, can also directly contact agricultural experts/doctors and
ensuring accurate understanding since farmers know their even book appointments for further guidance
fields best.

Precision Treatment Protocol Smart Group Sprinkling
Based on AI suggestions and expert advice, farmers can Instead of spraying each plant individually, farmers can
select which smart sprinklers to activate, control their range activate an individual sprinkler or a group of sprinklers. This
and pressure, and target only the affected areas—ensuring allows controlled spraying over selected crop sections while
efficient use of pesticides avoiding wastage on healthy areas or soil

Benefits and Impact: Smart Sprinkler Control,
Higher Yields, and Eco-Friendly Farming
Our system delivers Visible Progress and advantages across the entire
entire agricultural ecosystem:
• Up to 40% reduction in pesticide use: Farmers spray only where needed by
activating individual or group sprinklers, cutting waste and cost..
• 15–20% higher crop yields: Controlled spraying keeps plants healthier and
more productive, improving profitability.
• Eco-friendly balance: Smart spraying avoids harming beneficial insects and
soil microorganisms, promoting a healthier ecosystem
• Safer produce: Less pesticide residue in crops ensures cleaner and healthier
food..
• Reliable system: Smart sprinklers adapt to different crop types, seasons, and
farm sizes, ensuring consistent performance and protection

Squad The Future: Smarter, Greener Agriculture
“Empowering farmers with smart control for sustainable
farming”
Farmer + AI Collaboration: Future systems will give farmers full control, with AI
providing suggestions and expert connections for better spraying strategies and crop
decisions.
Smart Sprinkler Networks: Development of sprinklers that can be activated individually
or in groups, with adjustable pressure and range to cover only the required crop sections.
