Design and Development of Monkey and Bat repellent Device


Canopy level pest attacks in agriculture has been identified as one of the most important factors that endangers the national food security. Many research attempts are found to minimize the damage of insect pests and fungal pathogens where the least concern is given to control canopy level pests. Canopy level pests that directly reach the canopy of tall fruit trees and spices are the most difficult group to implement control measures compared to animal pests that walk along the ground. The study was designed aiming to minimize the damage on yield, quality, flower buds and other vegetative parts of tall and seasonal bearing tropical fruit species due to monkey and bat attacks at home gardens, mini orchards and large farms.
