Abstract

In few years, agriculture drones emerge for monitoring, planting, spraying, and mapping to increase crop production and reduce labor. This review results show its significance and farmer's demand for agriculture. The UAV technologies enable farmer management based on measuring and observation based on real-time crop and livestock monitoring, significantly maximize their production. The farm drone consists of user-friendly software with interactive maps, and a global positioning system will improve production. It will support farmer for farming in efficient, effective, and economical ways.
