Drone technology -A new revolution in agriculture

There's a decent probability you'll see more of these in the upcoming years.

Crop dusters are frequently shown soaring above fields before swooping down to spray a pesticide or fertilizer dosage. However, drones are something you might not be accustomed to seeing flying over farms.

Farming Revolutionized Various reports have shown how agricultural products went to waste and farmers suffered significant losses as a result of transportation barriers to market access.

For the longest period, apple producers in Kinnaur district's remote tribal areas also had this issue. The state government has approved Drone Policy 2022 in light of a number of these aspects with the intention of promoting technology for economic success, particularly in the agricultural and horticulture industry. It takes more than four hours to go to and from the market since these settlements are not connected by a road.

As a consequence, the farming industry is about to undergo a new revolution thanks to drone technology, which makes it possible to carry apples around the area. Successful testing were carried out in the village of Rohan Kanda in the Kinnaur area, where apple boxes weighing roughly 20 kilograms were moved across a distance of 12 kilometers to the main road in six minutes.

The success of the drone testing has given apple producers renewed optimism for prompt, safe delivery and decreased labor and transportation costs, particularly during the winter months.
