Seeds Sowing and Spraying Pesticides from Drone
About Course

Programme Overview:
Agriculture has witnessed a remarkable transformation with the integration of cutting- edge technology. One such innovation that has captured the attention of farmers and agronomists alike is the use of drones for both seeds sowing and pesticide spraying. This groundbreaking approach has the potential to revolutionize modern agriculture by increasing efficiency, reducing costs, and minimizing environmental impacts.
Seeds sowing via drones offers precise, automated, and rapid deployment, ensuring uniform crop distribution and optimizing the utilization of resources. This method not only saves time but also minimizes manual labor, making it a more suitable for large-scale farming. Also able to capture different datasets for analysis crop health using different sensors mounted on drone while flying.
On the other hand, using drones to spray pesticides ensures targeted and controlled application, reducing the overuse of chemicals and the risk of harming beneficial organisms. This approach promotes sustainable farming practices by minimizing the environmental footprint and safeguarding the health of both crops and ecosystems.
