He further said that the farmers whose major crops are damaged by the monkeys or other wild animals can install such units to protect their crops from monkeys/wild animals and get the maximum crop production as this system helps to keep away the monkeys/ wild animals from the crop fields.
While demonstrating the solar fencing system to the farmers he informed that this system is solar energy based and it delivers safe,non-lethal electric pulses that effectively prevent wild animals/monkeys/intruders trespassing in the fields.
He further said that this system can also be used in locations where conventional power supply is unavailable. He further informed that it has battery backup-store even for night times and low sunlight conditions. He further informed that if the monkeys/wild animals or any other intruder touches this fencing system,they could sense a vibration that prevented them to going further in the area. He added that this system is eco-friendly, has low maintenance and long-life. Many farmers are visiting the KVK Reasi and showing keen interests towards the adoption of this technology. |
