Abstract
The population is quickly growing, as is the need for food. The farmers' traditional tactics are insufficient to achieve these goals. As a result, new automated methods (such as drone technology) emerged. These innovative techniques met food demands while also offering employment opportunities for billions of people. Drone technology saves water, pesticides, and herbicides, protects soil fertility, and allows for more efficient use of labour to boost productivity and quality. This article will look at the usage of drones in agricultural applications. According to the literature, drones may be utilised for a range of agricultural reasons. The authors took the approach of doing a thorough review of past studies in this topic. This study describes the current state of agricultural drone technology, including crop health monitoring and farm activities such as weed control, evapotranspiration estimation, and spraying. The study concludes by recommending more farmers to invest in drone technology to boost agricultural output.
