This document discusses the use of drone technology in agriculture. It begins by noting the global challenges of food insecurity and the need to increase agricultural production. It then provides classifications of different types of drones based on their design and size. The main components of drones are described, including various sensors that can be used to analyze crops and land, such as cameras, infrared sensors, and LiDAR. The document discusses how sensors can be used to calculate indices like NDVI to measure crop health. It provides examples of drone manufacturers and software in India. Finally, it outlines the key legal issues and regulations for using drones in agriculture in India.
The use of pesticides in agriculture is essential to maintain the quality of large scale production. The spraying of these products by using aircraft speeds up the process and prevents compacting of the soil. However, adverse weather conditions e.g. the speed and direction of the wind can impair the effectiveness of the spraying of pesticides in a target crop field. Thus, there is a risk that the pesticide can drift to neighboring crop fields. It is believed that a large amount of all the pesticide used in the world drifts outside of the target crop field and only a small amount is effective in controlling pests. However, with increased precision in the spraying, it is possible to reduce the amount of pesticide used and improve the quality of agricultural products as well as mitigate the risk of environmental damage. In the past several years, UAV has been extensively used in agriculture. However, the efficiency is still not as high as desired and the phenomenon of pesticide pollution is still existing. This is mainly because of the following two problems 1 the autonomy of most existing UAV system is still very limited. Actually, most of them are still operated through remote controlling. 2 the UAVs operating precision is not high enough due to the low accuracy flight control near the plants. The paper presents combination of new approaches and technologies in modern day agriculture.

“Fabrication Of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) For Agricultural Purposesvivatechijri
There are too many technologies involved in today’s Agriculture, out of which spraying pesticides
using drones is one of the emerging technologies. Manual pesticide spraying causes many harmful side effects
for the personnel involved in the spraying process. Birth defects, cancers, genetic changes, blood and nerve
disorders, endocrine disturbance, coma, and death are also potential side effects of exposure. The World Health
Organization estimates that one million cases of disease have been affected by the manual spraying of pesticides
in the crop field. This paved the way to design a drone mounted with spraying mechanism having 12 V pump, 2
Litre storage capacity tank, 4 nozzles to atomize in fine spray , an hex copter configuration frame ,suitable
landing frame, 6 Brushless Direct Current (BLDC) motors with suitable propellers to produce required thrust
about 12 KG(at 100% RPM) and suitable Lithium Polymer (LI-PO) battery of current capacity 8000 MAH and
14.4 V to meet necessary current and voltage requirements. This pesticide spraying drone cuts down on
pesticide application time, labour, and expense. By adjusting the flow discharge of the pump, this sort of drone
may also be used to spray disinfectant liquids over houses, water sources, and densely populated areas. The
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) reduces the direct handling of pesticides by human beings and helps to
protect them from any injury which will give to them by pesticides. Also, the entire area chosen by the drone is
sprayed and covered very well. There are many processes to fabricate a UAV for the use of agricultural
activities. The processes like drilling, CNC milling,3D printing are required to fabricate the above model.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Companies like Folio 3 (AI drones) are able to do terrain
mapping for better management of the agricultural
industry.
The advanced computer vision capabilities of drones
enable them to accurately map the terrain and offer real-
time feedback to farmers for efficient planning and
management of fields.
22
By-Himalay Sahu, Ph.D. Scholar, Deptt. Of Agronomy
24. Monitoring Field Conditions
used to monitor the health of soil and field conditions.
Field elevation is useful in determining drainage
patterns and wet/dry spots which allow for more efficient
watering techniques.
It offers nutrient level monitoring in soil using enhanced
sensors. This allows for precise application of fertilizers,
eliminating poor growing spots.
23
26. Spray applications
Drone use to apply spray treatments is already
widespread in south-east Asia, with South Korea using
drones for approximately 30% of their agriculture
spraying.
Drone sprayers are able to navigate very hard to reach
areas, such as steep tea fields at high elevations.
Drones sprayers delivery very fine spray applications that
can be targeted to specific areas to maximize efficiency
and save on chemical costs.
25
By-Himalay Sahu, Ph.D. Scholar, Deptt. Of Agronomy
28. Scouting/monitoring plant health
Drones equipped with special imaging equipment called
Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) use
detailed colour information to indicate plant health.
Agricultural drones fitted along with multispectral sensors
and RGB sensors also detect field areas inflicted by
weeds, infections, and pests.
According to this data, the exact amounts of chemicals
needed to fight these infestations are known, and this
helps diminish the costs inflicted by the farmer.
27
By-Himalay Sahu, Ph.D. Scholar, Deptt. Of Agronomy
30. Irrigation monitoring
Drones with hyper spectral, thermal, or multispectral sensors
detect areas that are too dry or require the farmer's
attention.
Drone survey helps improve water efficiency and disclose
potential pooling/leaks in irrigation by providing Irrigation
monitoring.
Using microwave sensing, drones are able to capture very
accurate moisture levels without the plants getting in the way.
29
31. Planting and seeding
Newer and less wide spread uses of drones in agriculture is
for planting seeds.
Automated drone seeders are mostly being used in forestry
industries right now the very hard to reach areas can be
replanted without endangering workers.
They are also able to plant much more efficiently with a team
of two operators and ten drones capable of planting 400,000
trees a day.
30
By-Himalay Sahu, Ph.D. Scholar, Deptt. Of Agronomy
32. Drone Pollination
Researchers in the Netherlands and Japan are developing
small drones that are capable of pollinating plants without
damaging them.
The next step is to create autonomous pollinating drones
that will work and monitor crop health without constant
instruction from operators.
31
By-Himalay Sahu, Ph.D. Scholar, Deptt. Of Agronomy
33. Livestock tracking
Thermal sensor technology helps find lost animals and
detect an injury or sickness.
In addition to that, We can set our drones with high-definition
thermal imagers and night-capable cameras to survey if
there are unwanted animals in their farms that are preying
on their livestock.
Drones are currently being utilized at India’s Kaziranga
National Park to track human poachers who are
targeting the horned rhino.

37. Conclusion
Drones have already vastly altered the agricultural
industry and will continue to grow in the coming years.
While drone use is becoming more useful to small
farmers, there is still a ways to go before they become
part of every farmers equipment roster, particularly in
developing nations.
Regulations around drone use need to be made and
revised in many countries and more research needs to be
done on their effectiveness at certain tasks.
There are many ways drones can be useful to farmers but
it is important to understand their limitations and functions
before investing in expensive equipment.
