Institute of Agricultural Engineering and Technology, Anand Agricultural University, India, published an article in the International Journal of Microbiology and Applied Science in January this year, succinctly analyzing the application of drones in modern industries and in agriculture. Can play a role.
35 bucket (micro-signal: vcearth) compiled this article entitled “Application of Drones in Agriculture”.
The world’s population is growing and it is expected to reach nearly 9 billion people by 2050, and agricultural consumption will increase. To meet everyone’s food needs, the production of food, grains and meat must increase significantly. This demand can be met by adopting more advanced agricultural production techniques.
Agriculture is an industry where both prospects and challenges coexist. It depends on weather, soil conditions, water quality and utilization of irrigation water. The use of advanced technologies such as drones in agricultural production can better cope with these large and small challenges.
UAV applications in agriculture are mainly reflected in irrigation, crop monitoring, soil and yield analysis, and bird control.
Application areas for drones
Military
The military use of drones or Remotely Piloted Aerial Systems (RPAS) has become the main use in today’s world. UAVs as target baits for combat missions, R&D and supervision have become part of the global military force.
No one is allowed to come in handy when a manned flight is too dangerous or difficult. It is also possible to provide the troops with a 24-hour all-weather “eye of the air”. Each drone can stay at high altitude for 17 hours at a time, vacant in an area and send real-time images of ground activities.
Delivery Service
The use of drones can save a lot of manpower and transfer unnecessary road traffic into the air. In addition, they can be used to transport small parcels, food, letters over small distances.
