Crop Surveying Drones
There were times when farmers used to look into the sky looking for the signs of rain but now agriculture drones are used widely in farming which has reduced most of the human efforts.
The ability of drones to hover over the fields of maize, rice, potato etc with sensory devices tells farmers about the condition of the crop without going into fields and helps them to increase the crop yields.
For example, when a plant goes into stress due to lack of fertilizers or water or because of being attacked by the pests, it takes time for a farmer to detect these problems but agriculture drones can detect these problems easily by using their infrared sensors.
There are several benefits of using drones in agriculture
