Kadapa Sreenivasareddy, the nozzles fitted in drones are specialized, they release targeted large droplets aimed at the targeted crops. Such sprays are far less prone to drift. In addition, operators are careful not to spray when it is windy. The same drones have sensors to detect the wind conditions; this assists the operator to time the spraying appropriately.

Dear Kadapa,

Spraying is not advised in strong windy conditions because during both the cases, wind flow will affect greatly spraying as well as spraying droplets.

Using drones for spraying in windy conditions can still be risky, as strong winds can affect the accuracy and efficiency of the spraying. However, drones equipped with advanced stabilization and navigation systems can mitigate some of these risks. It's essential to consider factors such as wind speed, direction, and the type of crop being sprayed. In some cases, drones may still be effective in mildly windy conditions, but it's always best to follow manufacturer recommendations and exercise caution to ensure safe and efficient spraying operations.
