Best practice - Use of Technology in Agriculture

Kerala farmer uses UAVs in his plantation, shares the idea with agricultural scientists and officials
• A farmer in Kerala’s Wayanad has been using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) or drone technology in his plantation after completing a six-month online course on “Drones for Agriculture” from the Wageningen University and Research of The Netherlands.

• The key advantages of drone technology in the agricultural sector include:

◦ Aerial spraying of fertilisers and insecticides

◦ Access to real-time information

◦ Drone imaging is more accurate and precise than satellite imaging as satellite imaging can be impacted due to various weather conditions

◦ Ability to capture micro-level images

◦ Selective application of weedicides and micronutrients

◦ Helps in precision farming

◦ Helps in the overall improvement of agricultural practices at a lower cost
