Implementation of Drones

The number of farmers adopting drones in their farms is growing rapidly. Drones offer a cost-efficient way to monitor their crops. Using drones for farm management is far more complex than taking aerial photos and videos. Extracting useful information from the data gathered by drones involves a complex process that not all farmers may be willing to do. Below is a list of all the benefits and drawbacks of using drones for agriculture.

• Better data quality: Multispectral drone surveys have ushered in a new era of unequaled data quality and accuracy.
• Flexible analysis: Multiple multispectral surveys can be conducted in a single survey area to see changes over time of some useful parameters.
• Ease of deployment:Before drones, farmers who wanted to conduct aerial surveys of their farms had to use manned aircraft. Drones have reduced this need and increased simplicity.
• Crop spraying: Spraying using drones has also proven to be faster than other traditional methods.

Reduction in operational costs: Although using drones may involve a high start-up cost, it is still the more economical solution in the long run. Doing aerial surveys using manned aircraft will certainly be more expensive, as it will require more expensive equipment and more manpower.
