Agricultural spraying drones

Agricultural spraying drones are specialized Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) that are designed to apply fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, and other agricultural inputs to crops in a precise and targeted manner. These drones have specific payloads and spraying systems that are optimized for efficient and controlled application:

Let’s take a brief look at payloads and spraying systems:

• Spraying mechanisms: Agricultural spraying drones are equipped with spraying systems that include pumps, nozzles, and tanks that are capable of carrying liquid payloads. These systems ensure controlled and even distribution of agricultural inputs over the crops.
• Variable Rate Technology (VRT): Advanced spraying drones incorporate VRT, enabling spray rates to be adjusted based on crop conditions, allowing for targeted application, and minimizing input waste.
• Payload capacity...
