| dc.description.abstract | Agriculture is vital for human survival. In the
modern world, there is an ever-increasing need for food
with the increasing population. Hence, farmers are
determined to have successful harvests in order to meet the
market demand and make high profits as well. But this is
difficult to achieve with traditional farming methods such
as spreading seeds by hand and checking each and every
plant for their health. Not only is it hard to do but it takes
up a lot of time. Internet of Things is in high demand
nowadays. By utilizing technology in agricultural practices,
we can get more work done in lesser time. Even though most
farmers around the world use some type of machinery like
tractors and sprinkler systems, drone technology is still new
to the field. This paper reviews several types of drone
technologies available for efficient and productive
agriculture by using drones for tasks such as soil quality
evaluation, spreading of seeds, monitoring crops,
identifying pests and even for evaluating the ripeness of
fruits. Through this review, it has been demonstrated that
drone technology is a suitable solution in order to overcome
several obstacles in the farming industry that manual labor
and traditional machinery, like tractors, cannot do. | en_US |
