Assessment of effectiveness on different spraying techniques
Start Date: Saturday, November 30, 2024
End Date: Saturday, November 30, 2024

Event Category : Agriculture Method Demonstration
Venue : Rollapadu
Description : Er. Vivek R. Kamat conducted an On-Farm Trial (OFT) on “Assessment of Effectiveness on Different Spraying Techniques” in Chilli and Paddy crops at Rollapadu village, VV Palem mandal. The trial focused on comparing traditional manual spraying methods with drone-mounted sprayers. Farmers were educated on the advantages of drones, including reduced labor, faster operations, and improved safety. Key findings revealed that drone sprayers significantly reduced the time to cover an acre, lowered the cost per acre, and ensured precise chemical application. This improved efficiency, minimized wastage, and highlighted drones as a cost-effective and sustainable solution for modern agricultural practices.
