CSIR-NAL Demands For Drone Usage In Agriculture Sector

Council of Scientific & Industrial Research, National Aerospace Laboratories (CSIR-NAL) is in talks with Karnataka government to encourage the use of drone in the agriculture sector. “Despite its obvious use in military surveillance, we want to promote it for civilian applications such as in agriculture, mining, etc,” said Roshan Antony, Senior Scientist, MAV Unit, CSIR-NAL.

He mentioned that drone would be of great help in the agriculture sector. “If we can find out the exact area, where the crop is infected, we can apply insecticides only in that area. This would save money for farmers and also reduce the use of harmful chemicals in our food,” said Mr. Antony.

The exact model of service delivery is still to be worked on, but soon it would serve the farmers and help to increase the crop productivity.
