With Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain, and related digital technologies combined, a new era and a new style are coming to Kerala’s agriculture, which is becoming intelligent.
The machine pilot that flies, works, and watches the field.
When the tractor first came to the land, along with the farmer, the general laborers also became worried. The fear was that people would lose their jobs. I saw the sight of a drone, which is very useful to me as well as the tractor, coming to the field for the first time. Not in the same place, just on barren land. It was not something that happened easily for everyone to get a place in the agricultural history of Kerala. As one of the first farmers in the state to own a drone.
While age is with the farmer Peenuse, Aju is with him with the necessary medicines for farming. Aju is not just a wage-earning youth; along with his engineering job, he is always ready to move forward with innovative discoveries. The farmer moves forward in every matter with intelligence.
💡 One must remember that if a drone is flown once, its intelligence increases. Therefore, before going to the field each time, Aju is given precise instructions on matters like division, and optimal marketing. They move forward by cooperating with each other.
It is enough to select an area and mark its boundaries. There is assurance that the drone will fly alone like beautiful formations and arrive after completing its task precisely.
For service, the company Paul Drones and Aju are ready. Paul gets money as a share of the profit.
The fee is 1800 rupees to fertilize one acre of paddy field. It is enough to fly the drone for one acre.
If medicine is sprayed using the drone for one acre, Aju gets a 50% profit.
The expectation is to get back the investment in Payambally.
Now there are no concerns about his borders. Since it is a large drone, medicine, pesticides, etc., will not drift to the neighboring fields.
7 liters of medicine is enough to spray an area of 40-80 acres.
It is enough to spray from morning till noon at 2-hour intervals.
200 acres can be finished spraying within 2 days.
More benefits and profit than with more people.
Peenuse, who reaps benefits in a 700-acre field, says that if you buy a drone, you can recover its cost in a year. It’s hard to get people to apply fertilizer. Even if you get them, you have to pay at least 400 rupees in wages.
One person will spray medicine in a 1-acre area in a day. That too, if there are 4 people.
If it’s a drone, up to 25 acres can be finished in a single day.
Only from 1 to 4 PM is sufficient. Since it gets windier in the afternoon, the spraying is done in the morning. The use of fake medicines can be avoided. They can be applied in precise quantities.
Beyond the afternoon sun. The medicine will fall equally on the bottom and top parts of the leaves. The height can be adjusted according to the length of the plants. The amount of medicine can be increased or decreased.
- 💡 The drone has lights in the front and back. It can be flown at night too.
- 🕙 Therefore, medicine can be sprayed anytime without a difference between day and night. The most suitable time is from 10 am to 4 pm.
- 🔋 2 batteries are enough for a 20-minute flight.
- 🛰️ The drone will survey the farm. If the medicine runs out, it will stay there. If refilled, it will start from there. The drone will remember the entire farm.
Drones most suitable for our climate and conditions are now available. To be precise, farming can be done efficiently using drones.
