In a significant move to modernize agricultural practices, the Uttar Pradesh government has launched a drone pilot project aimed at spraying nano-urea and pesticides in selected districts. This initiative is currently being implemented across six districts as part of the state’s effort to promote precision farming and reduce manual labor in agriculture.
The use of drones for spraying aims to ensure uniform distribution of nano-urea and pesticides, thereby increasing efficiency and reducing input costs for farmers. By utilizing this advanced technology, the government hopes to improve crop yields and minimize the environmental impact of chemical usage in farming.
Agricultural officials in the state emphasized that drone-based applications not only save time but also protect farmers from direct exposure to chemicals. The six districts chosen for the pilot have been identified based on their cropping patterns and readiness for technological adoption.
The initiative also aligns with the broader push for digital agriculture and sustainable farming practices. If the pilot proves successful, the government may expand the program to other regions of the state in the coming months.
Farmers participating in the pilot project are receiving training on drone operations and safety protocols. Additionally, technical support is being provided to ensure effective implementation.
This move marks another step forward in Uttar Pradesh’s strategy to enhance agricultural productivity through innovation and technology-driven solutions.
