IoT based automation using Drones for Agriculture

Drones are also known as Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV).It is a kind of flying robot which do not carry a human operator and can be controlled remotely. Drones are growing rapidly and are used in many applications like agriculture, commercial, intelligent transportation, hunting hurricane, research and development. They bring more benefits to people and industries. Drones when connected to Internet of Things make the object smarter through the network. This paper is currently focusing on how the drones are used for agriculture. In the present era, there are many techniques to increase the crop productivity. Especially in countries like India where 70% of the people are dependent on fields. They face a huge loss due to the diseases. These diseases are caused from pests and the insects, which will reduce the productivity of the crops. Pesticides and fertilizers are used in agriculture to kill the insects and pests so as to increase the crop quality. It is estimated from WHO (World Health Organization) that many people are affected from ill when using the pesticides manually. UAVs are used in order to spray the water, pesticides, and insects and to avoid the health problems of humans.
