Abstract
Increasing agricultural productivity is very critical to meeting the food security and economic development of most developing countries of the world in the face of rapid population growth. The present technological trends in agricultural practices are not apt for small land holdings which is the major practice in developing countries like Nigeria. For any developing country to meet future food demands, the concepts of advanced farming techniques need to be explored and integrated into agriculture. One such notion is drones, which play significant roles in occupying the gaps of data collection and in reducing the numbers of manpower in many agricultural field operations using satellite remote sensing or manned aircraft. The objective of this paper is to briefly describe some vital approaches of drone’s applications in agriculture, which include soil and field analysis, crop planting, crop spraying, crop monitoring, irrigation, health assessment, wildlife monitoring, and more. The application of these approaches has great potential in enhancing agriculture in the near future and their quick implementation is desirable for the sustainability of agriculture especially in developing countries.
