" The new locally produced agricultural drones are intended for sowing," Mammadova said.
"These drones have several functions, which are used during sowing process," she noted.. “The drones capable of spraying any liquid chemicals, can also be used to spray granular mineral fertilizers."
"The drones have the ability to scan and determine the terrain by taking pictures of it," Mammadova said. "They perform 3D mapping of the earth structure thanks to this function. Farmers using drones save time and are exempt of additional costs."
"For example, when cultivating any area by using heavy equipment, the wheels of this equipment inflict certain damage on the field. This doesn't happen with drones. Also, heavy machinery consumes a lot of fuel and time to operate."
"Another important advantage is that thanks to these drones a farmer can determine in advance the part of the field with pests. That is, the drone first scans the area, determining the part of the area where pests must be destroyed, and sprays chemicals only in the mentioned spot," Mammadova added.
