The drone technically works only as a partner of the farmer in the field. The central government is also giving a subsidy of up to 50 percent on the purchase of a drone up to Rs 5 lakh under the Agri Drone Subsidy Scheme to promote farming with drones. But here it is also important to know. He has bought a drone from the scheme, but how will he help in farming
First take training to use drone
After the initiative of the Central Government, centers have also been opened for training of drones. Three schools in Haryana, 4 in Maharashtra, two in Telangana, Gwalior in Madhya Pradesh, Ahmedabad in Gujarat, Shahpur in Himachal Pradesh, Jamshedpur in Jharkhand, Bengaluru in Karnataka and Chennai in Tamil Nadu have been given permission to open training schools.

crop damage assessment
Apart from all this, the drone helps in checking crop loss. With the help of multispectral sensor and RGB sensor, accurate information about the damage caused in agriculture can be gathered. Agricultural drones can gather information on areas affected by weeds, infections and pests. Farmers can save their crops from damage by using chemicals with its help.
Spraying of Fertilizer-Pesticides
It takes many days for the farmers to spray fertilizers and pesticides. At the same time, with the help of drones, it can be completed in a few hours.

At the same time, even after getting the correct information about pesticides, the drone sprays at the right place. With the help of time-lapse photography, irrigation of water is done properly at that place.
soil health check
The work of the drone also remains to check the soil for monitoring the crops. Through multispectral sensors, the availability of nutrients in the soil, checking the nitrogen level, images can be created through accurate 3D mapping of the elements present in the land. If there is a lack of nutrients, then they can be fulfilled.
