Intelligent Agriculture, often referred to as Smart or

Precision Agriculture, is a cutting-edge approach to
farming that leverages advanced technology and data-
driven techniques to optimize agricultural processes. It
involves the integration of various technologies such as
sensors, drones, GPS, machine learning, and data analytics
into traditional farming practices. The primary aim is to
make agriculture more efficient, sustainable, and
productive while minimizing resource wastage and
environmental impact.

 APPLICATION OF UAV
DATA COLLECTION
Data collection in agriculture
using UAVs (Unmanned Aerial
Vehicles) involves the use of
drones equipped with various
sensors and cameras to gather
valuable information about
crops and farm conditions
LIVESTOCK MANAGEMENT
Drones can be used to
monitor livestock herds,
assess their health, and
locate missing animals. This
enhances overall herd
management.
CROP MONITORING IRRIGATION
MANAGEMENT
UAVs equipped with cameras and
sensors can capture high-resolution
UAVs can capture thermal images to
images of crops. This data helps
identify variations in soil moisture
farmers monitor crop health, growth,
levels. Farmers can use this data to
and identify issues like disease,
optimize irrigation, conserving water
nutrient deficiencies, or pest
resources and preventing
infestations.
overwatering or under watering.
LAND MAPPING AND PRECISION MANAGEMENT
SURVEYING UAVs enable precision agriculture
by collecting data on soil conditions,
UAVs create detailed topographic moisture levels, and temperature
maps and 3D models of farmland, variations. This data allows farmers
aiding in land management, to tailor their planting, irrigation, and
boundary identification, and fertilization strategies for optimal
drainage planning. yields.
 ADVANTAGES OF USING DRONES IN
INDIA
1.Provide a detailed field health report
2.Quick analysis of the field
3.Cost saving of excessive pesticides,
fertilizers,manual labour and water
4.Early and timely detection of pest attacks
and diseases
5. Health benifits for farmers due to reduced
exposure to chemicals
6.Increased yield and better quality produce
Drones have the potential to
revolutionize agriculture in
India by increasing
productivity, reducing
resource waste, and
promoting sustainable
practices. This technology
can empower farmers,
improve livelihoods, and
contribute to food security
and economic growth in the
country.

There might be many disadvantages of using drones in agriculture sector, but with
the right skillset, adequate knowledge and government’s initiatives we can overcome
them and enhance the overall agricultural productivity of the country.

SMAM
The "Sub-Mission on Agricultural
Mechanization" (SMAM) has been
updated to offer grants for
agricultural drones. Farming
institutions can receive up to
100% of the drone's cost or Rs.
10 lakhs as a grant. Farmers
Producers Organizations (FPOs)
are eligible for grants covering
75% of drone costs for field
demonstrations.

The sky is no longer the limit; it's the new frontier for agriculture. Let us seize this
opportunity to embrace UAV technology, not only to increase yields and profitability but also to
cultivate a healthier planet. Together, we can elevate agriculture to new heights and ensure
food security for generations to come."
