Agricultural Drones and Their Technological Applications

Agricultural Drones and Their Technological Applications

1. Chemical Spraying and Fertilizer Application Agricultural drones can be used for precise chemical spraying and fertilizer application. This technology significantly reduces the time needed for these tasks and ensures even coverage. Drones can spray chemicals across one acre in about 2 minutes, minimizing the risk of trampling crops. With proper long-term planning, using drones can be much more cost-effective compared to manual labor and can help address labor shortages in agriculture.

2. Watering and Plant Hormone Application Agricultural drones can also be utilized for watering plants and applying plant hormones. Ideally, plants absorb nutrients and hormones most effectively before 7 AM. If using manual labor for large areas, a significant number of workers is needed to complete the task before this time. Drones, however, can save both labor and time, averaging 2 minutes per acre for these tasks.

3. Data Analysis through AI Systems Agricultural drones are equipped with AI systems that process flight paths. They can remember points where they stopped to refill and resume work from the same location. Additionally, these systems can analyze where chemicals are running low to optimize flight routes and use resources efficiently.
