AG-Drones for No Fly Zone Public Sector

Healthy plants make for good yields and better financial gains. Traditionally, GuySuCo has been using manual labour to access the no fly zones of its cultivations. However, this poses some challenges, mainly the declining capacity of manual labour and the difficulty of accessing the cultivations to apply herbicides and ripeners after 6 months when the canes would have grown to about 6-7 feet high. Modern precision agriculture solves these problems and more, by the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV)/drones, equippedwithmulti spectrumcameras and computer software. It will enable application of chemicals with ease and efficiency which will lead to increased sugar recoveries and overall production and productivity, reducing downtime and cost.
