Different possibilities are offered by drones ( small machinery aerial vehicles) for the agricultural sector; the drones work is being done by spraying fertilizers, soil sampling, surveillance of small farm animals, producing real-time aerial imagery, and sensor data collection, etc. Indian agriculture is promoting drones for doing agricultural work, for spraying jobs.
These are viewed as “farmers’ drones”, which primarily focus on efficiency and efficacy. These drones save time, utilize all proper resources in agricultural sprays, and diminish the adverse effects of manual pesticide spraying.
Drones prove to be a great tool in monitoring, surveying, and producing aerial imagery in agriculture. The government is adopting a liberalized policy to promote drones, and their usage is increasing rapidly with the advancement in agriculture; they have a great future in Indian agriculture.
DRONE TECHNOLOGY IN INDIAN AGRICULTURE
Drones are unscrewed aerial vehicles UAVs that are deployed to monitor and keep surveillance in different parts of industries, including the agricultural land of India. Drones provide farmers multiple benefits, including enhanced efficiency and reduced cost.
The use of drones technology in India can revolutionize and revamp the Indian agricultural system and ensure a stable food security process. Drones are equipped with advanced sensors, which would help in collecting high-resolution data to determine overall crop health. It aids in scrutinizing the soil health and irrigation needs. Drones play a crucial role in collecting multispectral images, which helps farmers detect diseases in crops.
Drones are known for accuracy, which aids crop planning and mapping. Drones help farmers to have accurate data and pictures of their farmland, which is not possible with manual labour.
