Description

Drones are considered to be the greatest invention of mankind. Drones can be used in many areas widely. Drones can also be used in agriculture and it is called as unnamed aerial vehicles (UAV). In the traditional agriculture methods land vehicles are used to monitor various activities of the agriculture, this was consuming lot of human effort and time. Using drones in agriculture is more beneficial than using traditional methods for the activities. Usage of drones in agriculture provides a huge benefit in terms of economy and time due to their most astonishing features. In recent years many surveys have proved that drones can cover almost 10 to 15 times of the area which can be covered with traditional land based techniques. Drones can be controlled by computers according to their capacities, that is drones can be automated over some range of area, locating remote area, and even can be semi-automated. Drones can be efficiently used in agriculture for performing certain activities such as, studying weather conditions and variations, infection for the crops, land fertility and many more. Because of the efficiency of the drones they can be used in various activities of agriculture. In this paper, a detailed study has been made on various types of agricultural drones based on the feature, capacity, range as well as cost and the area of agriculture where they suit the most, and a statistical analysis about the usage of the drones in the field of agriculture. 2020 IEEE.
