Various attributes of an individual plot can be stored and analysed in a GIS environment to aid farmers in decision-making. This information includes ownership details, area, soil attributes, crop profiles, management practices, irrigation details, etc.

Remote sensing adds immense value in the form of spectral information. Judging crop health, occurrence of pests and diseases, detection of moisture stress, estimation of yield etc. is possible using remote sensing images. Timely and accurate detection of problem areas allows for precise control measures, reducing costs and increasing yield.

Geographic information systems (GIS): GIS offers the capability to handle multiple attributes, enables complex queries and makes decision-making faster and precise.

Farmers can make accurate, information-based decisions to respond quickly to problems. This leads to a more rational use of resources besides receiving higher yields and improved produce quality.

Drones serve multiple purposes in agriculture: Survey Drones: Equipped with specialized sensors, they gather multispectral images of crops. These images are processed to extract parameters such as crop health, extent of loss, and expected yield. Spraying Drones: Fitted with tanks and nozzles, they are used to spray liquids or broadcast powders and granules over crops efficiently.

The coverage area depends on the tank capacity, battery life and the particle size. On an average, a drone can cover approximately one acre in about 8 to 10 minutes. Utilizing multiple battery sets can extend flying time.
