They are being developed for efficient spraying of pesticides
Can aeronautical engineering benefit agriculture? Visit the ongoing Krishi Mela to know how drones can come handy for spraying pesticides on agricultural and horticultural crops. As the spraying of pesticides can be a health hazard, scientists are now looking at drone technology for pesticide application without the involvement of people. Manual spraying is also a costly and time-consuming process.
University of Agricultural Sciences-Raichur has taken up a project to develop a drone which helps in spraying of pesticides.
