Modern farming has become quite convenient with the use of advanced technologies. Every day new technology is emerging for agriculture, due to which farmers are able to get more yield with less cost. With the help of modern technology, farmers do not need to work much. The demand for drones is increasing rapidly across the country for nano urea and chemical spraying in the fields. Meanwhile, a company has announced to provide drones to the farmers for free. let’s go through it in detail
Drones are being distributed free of cost by the Indian Farmers Fertilizer Cooperative Limited (IFFCO) in Bihar for spraying nano urea and chemicals in the fields. However, for this, surety amount is being taken from the farmers for this. The cost of the drone in the market is around Rs 15 lakh, while a security deposit of Rs one lakh is being taken by the company. This money will be returned on returning the drone. The thing to note is that the drone will be provided only to those farmers who have passport. These farmers will also be given training to fly drones for a week.
The government is encouraging the spraying of chemicals and nano urea in the fields by drones. The Bihar government has decided to give a subsidy of Rs 250 per acre to the farmers for spraying chemicals and nano urea in the fields by drone. It is important to note that eight minutes is enough time to spray the chemical on one acre of agriculture by drone and only 10 liters of water is required. In this way, farmers can also reduce their time, water, and labor costs through drones.
