Drones can make your farm more efficient and more profitable. And, while drones can help in numerous ways, we’ve compiled the five most common – and important – ways drones can make your farm run smoother.
1. Produce Invaluable Data for Soil and Field Analysis
The start of the crop cycle is incredibly important to ensuring a good growing season. Agriculture drones assist by producing 3D maps for soil analysis, allowing you to easily and efficiently plan seed planting patterns.
This soil analysis can also be used after the crops have been planted for irrigation data and nitrogen-level management.
2. Monitor Crops Accurately and Precisely from a Distance
Drones have the capability to create time-series animations. This advanced technology allows you a holistic view of your crops, highlighting any inefficiencies in production and allowing you to address them as they arise.
3. Receive Vital Information to Address Irrigation & Watering Needs
Assessing dry spots in your crops can be hard to address without a drone. The old-fashioned way of checking for dry spots generally involve touring the crops looking for spots where the water is not reaching.
Drones allow farmers to find irrigation needs with ease. Advanced imaging systems provide complete soil analyses for irrigation, meaning you can easily identify which parts of your crops need more – or less – water.
4. Assess Crop Health Easily & Remotely
Multi-spectral imaging uses visible and near-infrared light emissions to determine overall crop health. From spotting fungal and bacterial infections to determining problems after crop loss, drones can drastically improve the production process of your farm.
5. Efficiently Spray Fields with a UAV
Spraying crops is a persistent challenge for farmers. Too much concentration in one spot can lead to decreased crop quality and increased costs. On the other side, not enough concentration leaves crops vulnerable to pests, weeds, and other predators.
With drone spraying, you can deliver fertilizers, herbicides, fungicides, pesticides, seeds, and desiccants with precision and consistency. The best part? These drones can produce higher yield rates without intense manual labour.
A Few Agricultural Drones to Change Your Farming Life for the Better
The AGRAS T10
A compact and incredibly powerful aerial solution for agriculture sites of various sizes and needs, the DJI AGRAS T10 offers an 8-liter tank and spray width of 5 meters. This allows the aircraft to cover up to 15 acres an hour, making it a great choice to increase your agricultural production and efficiency.
The AGRAS T30
Take aerial spraying efficiency to new heights with the DJI AGRAS T30. Featuring a 30-liter spraying tank and a revolutionary transforming body that enable more effective spraying, the T30 is reduces fertilizer use and increases yields.
The AGRAS T40
Built with Dual Atomized Spraying System, DJI Terra, Active Phased Array Radar, Binocular Vision, the T40 supports multiple missions from surveying and mapping to spraying and spreading. Able to carry a spray load of 40 kg and a spread load of 50 kg, the T40 is also equipped with revolutionary Coaxial Twin Totor design. It truly is an asset for your agriculture needs.
