Drones are increasingly being used in agriculture to increase efficiency, reduce costs and improve crop yields. Agriculture drones, also known as precision farming drones, are equipped with advanced sensors and payloads that allow farmers to collect data and make informed decisions about crop management.
Some popular agriculture drones and their approximate prices (as of 2021) include:
- DJI Agras MG-1S: $18,000 – $20,000
- DJI Agras T16: $10,000 – $12,000
- PrecisionHawk Lancaster 5: $30,000 – $35,000
- AgEagle RX60: $15,000 – $17,000
- Yuneec Typhoon H Plus: $2,800 – $3,200
Some common features of agriculture drones include:
- Advanced sensors and payloads: Agriculture drones are equipped with advanced sensors and payloads, such as multispectral cameras, lidar, and thermal imaging, which allow farmers to collect data on crop health, soil moisture, and crop stress.
- Autonomous flight capabilities: Agriculture drones are designed to be flown autonomously, which allows them to cover large areas and collect data without human intervention.
- Advanced data processing: Agriculture drones can include advanced data processing capabilities, such as machine learning and artificial intelligence, to extract valuable insights from the data collected by the drone.
- Long-range flight: Agriculture drones are designed to have a long-range flight
