Indian Agriculture has gone through many advancements and benefited through research and adoption of new technologies by farmers. Technologies like drip irrigation, mechanized farming for planting and harvesting are being successfully used for sustainable agriculture in India. In recent years, use of drones in agriculture has gained lot of attention on drone’s digital space including its use as an alternative equipment for spraying. The intelligent use of UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) technology can help to fight highly mobile invasive pests such as Fall Army Worm (FAW) and Desert Locusts more efficiently and effectively; prevent them from becoming endemic and reduce the cost of production while maintaining high agricultural productivity.
