In a move towards modernizing agriculture, Uttar Pradesh has started using drones to spray nano urea on crops. This initiative is part of the state’s effort to promote precision farming and reduce excessive use of traditional fertilizers.
Nano urea, developed by Indian scientists, is a liquid fertilizer designed to be more efficient and environmentally friendly than conventional urea. With drone technology, the application becomes quicker, more uniform, and less labor-intensive.
State agriculture officials said that drone spraying not only saves time and water but also helps improve crop yield and soil health. Farmers in several districts have already started participating in demonstration camps organized by the agriculture department.
Experts believe this method could significantly cut down fertilizer usage while enhancing productivity. As the state pushes for greater adoption, training programs are being conducted to educate farmers about the benefits and operation of agricultural drones.
Uttar Pradesh’s step toward drone-assisted nano urea application reflects a broader national push toward technology-driven farming and sustainable agricultural practices.
