The use of drones will reduce labor costs and save farmers from reptile attacks during fertilizer and pesticide spray, said NABARD chief C Uday Bhaskar joining the demo session.
Drone technology will be helpful in agriculture in many ways. It will spray 5-acre farmland in one fly and will take 5-8 minutes to spray one-acre land, said Pateneswar Society CEO Chandrasekhar Tripathy.
