The geospatial technology available in the past was limited to large machinery, such as crop-dusters and other planes. This made it mandatory that a technology more apt for farmers was developed, and it came in the form of the drones or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The advantages of drones as an assistant in precision farmland near bangalore are quite plenty.

· The images taken using a drone are from a low altitude. You must know that according to FAA no unmanned aerial system can fly 120 meters or 400 feet above the ground. This makes it perfect for taking images required for agricultural purposes.

· The drones remain below the clouds so this also proves to be beneficial in providing clear images of the field, making the assessment of the crops and soil both easier and more precise.

· The cost of the single use of satellite imaging goes above $1000 whereas an agricultural drone costs way less than that. So, it is extremely cost effective to use drones for the precision agriculture.

· The quality of the pictures taken from a drone is way better as they have high resolution cameras that offer better contrast.

The use of drones in agriculture is already taking place and many farmers have resorted to this extremely cost effective and useful technology. There still remains scope of improvement when it comes to the use of drones in agriculture. Some of the areas that require a bit of work include:
