Global agricultural drone technology development
Overview
The adoption and development of agricultural drone technology are progressing through both research initiatives and practical field implementation in different regions.
In Paraná, Brazil, researchers are developing AgroVANT, a large-scale autonomous drone designed to automate pesticide spraying and transport on massive farms. Supported by the Araucária Foundation, the project aims to create a 10-meter wingspan aircraft with a 1,000-liter capacity, which the development team claims is “equivalent to the workload of approximately 25 standard agricultural drones.”
Simultaneously, in the Vadodara district of Gujarat, India, farmers are utilizing drones to streamline the application of inputs like Nano Urea and Nano DAP. This technological shift is being facilitated by government initiatives that provide specialized training and financial subsidies, allowing farmers to access spraying services for a reduced cost.
