Abstract

The use of drones has completely changed the agriculture industry by giving farmers a more efficient, precise, and affordable way to monitor crops and increase yields. Drone technology in agriculture has advanced significantly thanks to Garuda Aerospace Pvt Ltd, an Indian drone manufacturer. Real-time data on crop health and growth patterns is one of the key advantages of employing drones in agriculture. Drones using specialized cameras and sensors may record detailed pictures and data that can be used to spot illness, stress, or nutrient deficiency in crops. By using this information, farmers may reduce waste and increase yields by making educated decisions about when and where to use pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers. The Garuda Vega, a drone type designed by Garuda Aerospace primarily for agricultural application, can swiftly cover huge regions and deliver high-resolution imagery and mapping data. In addition, the business has created specialized software, such as its AgriAnalytics platform, which can analyze drone data and offer insights on crop health and yield maximization. The capacity of drones to access isolated or challenging-to-reach farms is another benefit of their use in agriculture. Instead of labor-intensive human inspections, drones may fly above farms and collect data without causing damage to the crops or upsetting the soil. Drones may be used for irrigation, seeding, and crop spraying in addition to crop monitoring. Garuda Aerospace has created spraying systems based on drones that can precisely and effectively administer insecticides and herbicides to crops while minimizing waste and harm to the environment.
