UASs have the potential to make farming operation more sustainable. UAV-based remote sensing will be like using a cell phone today. Agronomic decisions helps in data processing and it will be useful in India too.
Drones have already begun to change the agriculture industry in many ways.
With the rise of China, India, Africa and other countries around the world, the demand for food has risen rapidly.
Experts expect agricultural consumption to increase 70% by 2050, so massive improvements in the way we farm will be needed between now and then.
Drones (UAV Systems) have the latest sensors and technology to optimize everything from water applied to plants, to the amount of fertilizer and space they are given while attaining the highest yields.
The ‘Altura Zenith RTF Agriculture System’ can improve crop science management by providing aerial camera shots, multispectral measurement and remote sensing equipment all at once. As a result, UAS can improve the quality of your production processes whilst lowering the crop management costs.
A more affordable solution for crop management is the DJI Agras MG-1 Octocopter Agriculture Drone .
These two UASs are good examples of how drones are changing the agricultural industry from the air. There are other alternative for ground harvesting on the way to market. Nevertheless, UASs are making a big impact in the agricultural industry by saving time and money for farmers while simultaneously gathering intel to help them farm smarter and increase production and quality of their crops through advanced automated systems.
