In this report, Technavio highlights the adoption of irrigation drones as one of the key emerging trends in the global smart irrigation systems market:

Global smart irrigation systems market: Adoption of irrigation drones

One of the most recent trends in agriculture is the use of drones by farmers for irrigation. Drones are equipped with thermal sensors, which allow them to identify the parts of the field that are dry and require water. The farmer controlling the irrigation system can water these identified areas promptly, thus allowing the even distribution of water to the field. The use of drones in the agricultural field allows farmers to reduce the use of water in the field, ensures precise irrigation of plants, and allows the farmer to track any kind of leakages in the irrigation system and poor performances areas.

“Technologies such as drones, sensors, and smart irrigation systems are powered with radio frequencies and hyperspectral sensors, which help in the proper deployment of the equipment. The use of smart irrigation systems with drones can change the agricultural process to a more efficient one, allowing farmers to track the land and property at all times,” says a senior analyst at Technavio.

Global smart irrigation systems market: Segmentation analysis
