Agricultural drones - uses and development

Learn what are the main applications of drones in agriculture and what the future holds.

What are agricultural drones?

Agricultural drones have been improving in recent years and becoming a major driver of farmers' work. Thanks to these small unmanned helpers, crop production is successfully increased, crop growth is observed and inspected, agricultural efficiency is improved.

The applications of the agro drones maximize the results of farmers. They monitor the different characteristics of the soil, monitor the production, eliminate faults in the irrigation systems, make strategic decisions for replanting and processing. They help effectively and safely predict the quality and final harvest.

Agricultural technology for these devices has been improving over the past few years and its benefits in agriculture are becoming increasingly apparent to farmers. The applications of drones in the agricultural sector range from mapping and exploration to cutting and spraying.

Precise agriculture

This is related to the management of the crop growth process to ensure the efficiency of the work and the increase in the quality of the yield. By conducting precise agriculture, the appearance of pests, floods, or diseases that can destroy the crop is reduced.

The condition of the crops and livestock can be observed from the air via agro drones. Thus, problems are found and eliminated much faster, which otherwise may take a long time to find while traversing the whole area. The copters provide real-time information and are more precise than traditional methods for monitoring and locating damage to irrigation systems.

Mapping

One of the main applications of agricultural drones is in mapping and exploring crops. These machines are improving every year. The latest models are equipped with software that allows the flight to be planned, the trajectory to be covered, and then the device to run it.

Some models can be set to take pictures at certain points on a preset flight. The camera automatically takes pictures using on-board sensors and GPS to determine the exact location for shooting.

Spraying

Thanks to agricultural drones, it is now possible to spray the crops with much greater precision than spraying with tractors. They help farmers in dealing with the fight against diseases, weeds, and pests, and successfully deal with the spread of pesticides and fertilizers.

This is a much cheaper and more efficient way to process large areas that take too much time to process manually.

The use of drones offers a fully automated, purposeful, and precise solution and replaces the time-consuming and potentially harmful use of backpacks and other equipment.

In addition to all of the above, this way of working is safer because the potential exposure of workers to pesticides needed for manual spraying of crops is reduced.

The future of Agro Drones

Global Market Insights estimates that the size of the agricultural drone market will exceed $ 1 billion and 200,000 units purchased by 2024. They point out that one of the main reasons for increasing demand and buying is due to raising awareness of the pros of drones in agriculture among farmers.

According to the company, technological progress in agricultural techniques will stimulate demand. Increased automation resulting from a lack of skilled resources and the labor crisis will also increase demand for agronomists.

Drones are helping to revolutionize agriculture by providing farmers with fast, accurate, and repetitive data collection, which in turn provides an opportunity for proper and precise strategic decisions.

The benefits of agricultural drones include early detection of weeds, early detection of pests and diseases, land status reporting, management and optimization of irrigation, early-season replanting management, pesticide efficiency studies, and harvest planning.

Trends for these unique machines are to be increasingly sought after and for their technology to develop more and more to meet the needs of agriculture. To learn more about these drones and the models we offer, come to this part of our page: HERE.
