Abstract
Agriculture has always been a major source of income in India. There are a lot of factors that affect the growth and quality of the crop. This includes natural factors such as climate and also some which can be controlled by farmers which are pests and diseases. These can be controlled by pesticides and insecticides which are harmful to farmers. The use of drones in this field can be seen effectively from the past decade. For enhancing agricultural output, precision agriculture has seen far too many advancements in the modern period. Drones can quickly evaluate a field to ascertain the amount of pesticide that the crop needs, making it simpler for farmers to assess their input requirements and predict crop size. The activities follow a precision farming protocol that ensures increased production while lowering input costs.
