Bayer CropScience has conducted its first drone trial at its multi-crop breeding centre in Chandipa, near Hyderabad, Telangana.
Bayer has partnered with innovative drone startup General Aeronautics and conducted several in-house and external R&D trials with universities and central research institutions to generate data to make drone-based services available to farmers.
Based on the initial achievements of drone farming, growers may be able to explore the technology's capabilities in aiding paddy, corn, sugarcane, wheat, vegetables, fruits and plantation crops and harvests in the future.
