Drone In Agriculture: Farmers in the country are doing farming in an advanced way. The central government also makes every possible effort to increase the income of the farmers. Drone is one such technology in farming, which has changed the methods of farming on a large scale. The income of the farmers has also increased with the use of drones, as well as saving time is also increasing. Now scientists have developed a similar high quality drone.
BHU scientists developed drone
According to media reports, scientists of BHU Institute of Agricultural Sciences have made such a drone. This will help a lot to the farmers in farming. In just 15 minutes, it will spray insecticide and urea on one acre of crop. The advantage of this will be that due to early spraying, the time of the farmers will be saved.
Rs 10 lakh spent on making a drone
About 10 lakh rupees have been spent in making the drone. It has been made equipped with multi sensors. Many cameras are also installed. With this, taking the right information about the crop, insecticides and nano urea can be easily sprayed at the right place. Scientists say that in most parts of the country till now urea, insecticides are sprayed in a traditional way. Its disadvantage is that the cost is high, and time is spent. Apart from this, farmers come directly in contact with pesticides. Due to this, there is a risk of skin related diseases. But this will not happen after the use of drones.
Field tested
Scientists of BHU have also tested the drone in the field. It has been used at the farmer’s place in Jamalpur block. Officials said that it was tested in spraying nano fertilizer in one acre of wheat crop. Only 15 minutes time was recorded for spraying. Experts say that five hundred ml of liquid nano urea is sprayed in one acre of wheat crop. This benefits agriculture a lot.
