According to GMI Research’s latest report, the global agriculture drone market is expected to grow at a robust CAGR of 24.7% from 2020-2027.

An agriculture drone is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) used in the farming practices to monitor crop growth and increase crop protection. The major components of agriculture drone includes frames, controller systems, propulsion systems, camera systems, navigation systems and batteries. The agriculture drone captures high resolution image which is helpful for data management and analysis. Agriculture drones helps in monitoring crop conditions, minimizing chances of pest infestation and lowering chances of irrigation leakage problem. The agriculture drones can be used in a wide range of applications such as precision agriculture, weed management, livestock monitoring, nursery management, and many more. Agriculture drones assess soil conditions, provides easy crop monitoring, detect field areas inflicted by weeds, diseases & pests infestation, and balance dosage amount of the fertilizers & pesticides for managing the cultivation of the crops. The agriculture drones are used to visualize crop vigor, chlorophyll content and green biomass.
