Application of drone in agriculture: A review


Author(s): Gopal Dutta and Purba Goswami

Abstract: The population is increasing tremendously and with this increase the demand of food. The traditional methods which were used by the farmers were not sufficient enough to fulfil these requirements. Thus, new automated methods (Drone technology) were introduced. These new methods satisfied the food requirements and also provided employment opportunities to billions of people. Drones technologies saves the excess use of water, pesticides, and herbicides, maintains the fertility of the soil, also helps in the efficient use of man power and elevate the productivity and improve the quality. The objective of this paper is to review the usage of Drones in agriculture applications. Based on the literature, we found that a lot of agriculture applications can be done by using Drone. In the methodology, we used a comprehensive review from other researches in this world. This paper summarizes the current state of drone technology for agricultural uses, including crop health monitoring and farm operations like weed management, Evapotranspiration estimation, spraying etc. The research article concludes by recommending that more farmers invest in drone technology to better their agricultural outputs.
