Agricultural Students Raise Awareness on Drone Use for Crop Spraying in Kottamuthampalayam

Agricultural students conducted an awareness session on drone crop spraying techniques in Kottamuthampalayam, Coimbatore, enhancing local farming practices.


Tirupur: In an innovative approach to modern agriculture, a group of nine students from Coimbatore Agricultural University, led by Sriramalingam, engaged in a practical training session at Chathiram Gram in Dharapuram Union. With the support of Kaveri Agro Services, the team conducted an awareness program in Kottamuthampalayam village on the use of drones for spraying pesticides on crops.



Not limited to just pesticide application, drones are now employed in agriculture for various purposes including watering and seed dispersal. These drones can be customized to monitor water levels and crop growth, offering a solution to labor shortages and ensuring timely application of chemicals. This technological intervention is proving to be a boon for local farmers, helping them enhance their agricultural practices and ensuring timely care for their crops.



The awareness initiative has greatly benefited the village farmers, empowering them with new tools and techniques in agriculture.
