Abstract: The use of drones in agriculture has gained attention in recent years as it has the potential to significantly improve traditional farming practices. Drones, also known as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), offer several benefits that can improve crop productivity and quality while reducing labor costs and environmental impact. Modern management in sustainable agriculture requires rapid information on crop status and rapid response to undesirable events. Indian agriculture faces numerous challenges Productivity decline, climate change, global warming and loss of natural resources, labor shortages, pandemic situations. Drones contribute to agricultural sustainability from social, economic and ecological perspectives. Drones can be used for soil analysis, crop growth and establishment, accurate application of agricultural inputs, plant disease identification, irrigation monitoring, plant health assessment, livestock care and disaster monitoring, plant biomass for agriculture and damage assessment and material transportation. Studies around the world have shown that drones save time, labor, water and reduce chemical costs.
