Birds cause a lot of damage to crops while they are ripening.
Scarecrows are not an effective way to stop them.
Scientists have prepared a better solution through laser.
Birds cause great harm to farmers’ crops. In such a situation, the fields have to be guarded 24 hours. This is considered a very difficult problem. This causes loss of millions of dollars every year. For this, scarecrows, which are called scarecrows, are used, which are a kind of human effigies, but the results are not very spectacular. Now scientists have found a high-tech solution to this problem through laser scarecrow.
Experts have especially demonstrated their new unique technology and how crops can be saved from major losses with the help of laser scarecrow. In a study published in Pest Management Science, scientists looked at the effect of using laser-enabled scare crows on the protection of sweet corn crops.
Researchers tested the effects of moving laser scarecrows on birds and found that they provide effective crop protection up to 20 meters away from the device. Now more and more farmers want to use such cheap and portable laser equipment.

Researchers say that for just $300 to $500, farmers can protect huge fields for one to three weeks, which is cheaper and more effective than any other method. There is no need to use this laser for a long time. Now researchers are trying to know its effect on other crops.
Scientists say that this will greatly benefit the environment and will not harm the wild animals because farmers also use firecrackers, blast guns etc. to protect them from them. This will not cause any problem to the farmers and residents working nearby. There is no need to leave any poisonous substance near the crops.
