ChemCERT has highlighted the significance of drones in revolutionizing agriculture in Australia. Drones equipped with advanced sensors and imaging technology can provide real-time, high-resolution data on crop health, nutrient levels, and pest infestations. This data can help farmers optimize their crop management strategies, reduce chemical usage, and improve overall crop yields.
At the Sydney Royal Easter Show, XAG are showcasing the latest drone technologies and applications for Australian farmers. Visitors to their exhibition can learn about how drones can be integrated into various agricultural practices, such as crop scouting, precision spraying, and soil mapping.
