AGRICULTURAL The small aircraft which operates by itself without any human being
DRONES is known as Unmanned Aerial
Vehicle. It is also referred by its abbreviation as UAV. It is popularly known as Drone. The drone used for agricultural activities is known as agriculture drone. It is mainly used to assist in crop production and to monitor crop growth. USES :
● To monitor plant health
● To count number of plants ● To spray pesticides and insecticides on the crops ● To schedule seeding and harvesting processes at appropriate time as needed ● To reduce usage of scarce resources ● Recording data for future analysis ADVANTAGES & DISADVANTAGES : ADVANTAGES :
➨It helps in achieving more yields by using resources effectively. It
provides good ROI (Return on Investment). ➨Drones are used in large scale farming for spraying of insecticides and pesticides due to its remote control operation from distant. ➨It helps in monitoring environmental data which helps in smart farming. ➨It helps farmers in scouting their fields quickly and efficiently. This saves time in determining status of fields. DISADVANTAGES : ➨It requires basic knowledge and skills to operate the agriculture drones. ➨Most of the drones have less flight time and covers less area. Drones having long flight time and long range are costlier. Drones having more features are also more expensive. ➨Need to obtain government clearance in order to use it. ➨It uses same air space as commercial aircrafts and hence may interfere with manned aircrafts if it comes in their flight path. ➨It is difficult to fly them in extreme conditions. ● AUTOPILOT SYSTEM ● FACE RECOGNITION NEW ● CONTROLS TECHNOLOGIES ● SENSORS ● GPS ● BATTERY CAPACITY ● WEIGHT CAPACITY ● AIR FLOW PROBLEMS ● STABILITY IN AIR ● DESIGN ● COST Solution for battery power ? The only idea for the battery power saving and also can be used for longer distance : Attaching the solar panels, when the sun light falls , the power can be easily generated and stored , when the sun light is not available , we can use the power stored in the battery.
