Crop Health Monitoring

Services
How can drones help farmers improve crop management?
Drones equipped with sensors provide real-time data on crop health, enabling farmers to monitor crop stress, detect disease early, and optimize crop management practices for better yield. This use of drones also supports ecological decisions in farming by offering more sustainable alternatives to traditional methods.
What types of agricultural services do Garuda drones offer?
Garuda drones offer a wide range of services, including crop health monitoring, soil and water management, yield estimation, weed detection, pest control, seed spraying, and livestock monitoring. They also play a crucial role in environmental monitoring by assisting in mapping vegetation and assessing biodiversity impacts across large areas of farmland.
How do drones support soil and water management on farms?
Using drone technology, farmers can access precise environmental data for informed decisions on water quality, irrigation, and soil conditions. This enables better environmental management through data collected by drones in hard-to-reach areas.
Can Garuda drones be used to spray pesticides and nutrients on crops?
Yes, our drones are designed for precision agriculture applications like crop spraying. Drones can quickly and evenly spray large fields with nutrients and pesticides, significantly reducing input waste and enhancing conservation strategies.
Are financial support or subsidies available for buying agricultural drones?
Yes. Farmers can access AIF loan facilities of up to ₹2 crores per unit with a 3% interest subsidy for 7 years and collateral-free support under CGTMSE. Additionally, SMAM subsidies cover 40–50% of the drone cost. These benefits make it easier to invest in UAVs that support both productivity and effective conservation efforts.
How do drones enhance yield estimation and crop growth tracking?
Drones equipped with multispectral and thermal imaging capabilities offer high-accuracy insights into crop performance. This precise data collection supports environmental assessments by monitoring vegetation health, soil moisture, and temperature fluctuations across different growth stages.
What makes Garuda Aerospace drones different from traditional farming methods?
Unlike traditional methods, Garuda’s drones utilize aerial surveys, real-time monitoring, and high-resolution cameras to improve efficiency and reduce environmental impact. These powerful tools have transformed modern farming by integrating smart monitoring methods and ecological monitoring into everyday practices.
Can I use Garuda drones for livestock and reforestation efforts?
Yes. Garuda offers drone services for livestock monitoring, search and rescue, and planting and reforestation. These drones are also used to monitor environmental changes and play a key role in tracking illegal activities in remote, inaccessible areas, aiding in effective conservation.
What kind of training and support does Garuda provide to new drone users?
Garuda Aerospace offers complete drone pilot training, marketing support, and guidance on drone adoption. With their role in environmental monitoring growing rapidly, this training ensures users can handle payload systems, operate in marine ecosystems, and make informed decisions based on drone-captured environmental intelligence.
