Iran-Made Agricultural Drones Outperform Foreign Products 

Drones are currently used in various fields, including agriculture, which have been very popular in recent years. 

An agricultural drone is an unmanned aerial vehicle applied to farming in order to help increase crop production and monitor crop growth.

Sensors and digital imaging capabilities can give farmers a richer picture of their fields. This information may prove useful in improving crop yields and farm efficiency.

The Iran-made drone is supplied at a price that is 25 percent lower than foreign models.

Agricultural drones perform services such as foliar spraying and seeding, which causes the production of agricultural products with lower prices, higher quality, and, as a result, more productivity.

In the past, when fields were sprayed with traditional methods, many problems plagued farmers.

For example, in the method of foliar spraying by the poison sprayer, due to direct contact with the poison, the health of people was greatly endangered.

In cases where tractors were used, 20 to 30 percent of the crop was damaged under the wheels of the tractor and caused damage to the farmer.

But these drones can spray fields with high speed and accuracy and low cost, and also help to maintain the health of people after pesticide spraying.

These drones have the ability to carry poison, liquid fertilizers, and all kinds of pesticides in containers with capacities of 10 and 20 liters.

Also, the work speed increases 10 times compared to the traditional methods. For example, in the traditional method, up to five hectares can be foliar-sprayed per day, but with the use of these drones, up to 50 hectares per day can be foliar-sprayed.

These drones help to save water and poison consumption by 98 percent and 30 percent, respectively.

The Iran-made drone is 25 percent cheaper than a similar foreign model. Manufacturing each drone can save 10,000 to 15,000 dollars for the country.
