RANCANG BANGUN PENYEMPROT PESTISIDA UNTUK PERTANIAN PADI BERBASIS QUADCOPTER

Quadcopter is the development of the helicopter it simply using the rotor. Quadcopter has more used the research objective which is into the agriculture field. Quadcopter can be used to conduct the land surveys, the remote sensing and other that present to be easly the agricultural activities for pest and fertilizer spraying. In the future, quadcopter will be feasible to utilize and develop efciently the technologies it can assisting the paddies farming. Hazardous pesticides do not expose into the skin directly, inhaled or the eyes. Accidents from the pesticides effect it by doing the farmers, and those used manual spray pumps. To minimize dissemination risks then this study designed the quadcopter remote control for spraying the pesticide liquids to the rice plants. the quadcopter type X with the dimension of 650 mm made by Tarot it used in this research. The quadcopter has moving with four propeller and the size of 13x5.5 inch that mounted on the brush motor of 700KV. The quadcopter has two stages for take off position it by flight mode of GPS hold to spray the pesticide liquid and automatic flight mode using the mission planning software. The pesticide dissemination using the quadcopter has produced the better spraying when conducted in three meter of elevation by nozzle holder rate of 75%.
