Crop Health Monitoring

Services
Can drones be used for harvesting and post-harvest processes?
Yes, drones can assist in harvesting by offering aerial monitoring of crop maturity, automating data collection, and helping identify ideal harvesting windows. They also support logistics in remote areas, easing transport planning during large-scale reforestation or harvesting projects.
Who is eligible for support under the SMAM scheme?
Eligibility includes SC/ST farmers, farmer cooperatives, agri-graduates, and Custom Hiring Centres (CHCs). The goal is to make technological solutions to support reforestation and agriculture, like drone technology, accessible to all.
How can drones help detect weeds or plant diseases early?
Drones are equipped with multispectral sensors that capture real-time crop data, enabling early identification of weed infestations or diseases. This data can be used to refine planting practices and reduce the environmental impact on nearby natural forests.
Why choose Garuda Aerospace as your agri-drone service provider?
Garuda is a DGCA-certified RPTO (Remote Pilot Training Organization), trusted by institutions like ISRO. We aim to restore forests and farmland health by integrating precision drone services with biodiversity-focused agricultural practices.
Can drones support search-and-rescue operations for livestock during disasters?
Yes. Our drones can fly over inaccessible terrains to locate and monitor livestock, helping rescue teams respond quickly. This capability also benefits reforestation projects in forest zones impacted by climate change.
What is the ROI potential of investing in agri-drone services?
Drones make crop monitoring, spraying, and yield estimation up to 10 times faster than traditional methods. For investors, this means quicker results and better margins while supporting reforestation initiatives and sustainable farming.
How are drones used in planting and reforestation projects?
Drones used in reforestation—like those by Garuda—can disperse seed pods over large areas, making the reforestation process faster and more scalable than planting by hand. This method also helps replant forests in degraded ecosystems.
Are Garuda's drone services suitable for both small and large farms?
Absolutely. Whether you're planting saplings on a small family farm or managing reforestation targets across thousands of acres, our drones can scale to match the number of trees and planting strategies needed.
Can non-farming stakeholders like investors or researchers collaborate with Garuda?
Yes. We welcome collaborations with researchers, NGOs, and investors to boost efforts like global reforestation. For instance, supporting seed-planting drones for forest restoration or testing new tree tech for biodiversity enhancement.
Do you have real-world examples or testimonials from farmers using Garuda's services?
Yes. Farmers across India have seen dramatic improvements in yield and cost savings, thanks to drones capable of performing aerial surveys and even drone planting. Their feedback is helping shape more effective reforestation methods and smart farming.
