Global Scope:

 How have drones improved pesticide application efficiency worldwide?


 What environmental and economic impacts are associated with drone-based pesticide
systems?
 Which countries have pioneered regulations and best practices for drone-based pesticide
spraying?

Pakistan’s Perspective:

 What are the main challenges faced in adopting drones for pesticide use in Pakistan (e.g.,
cost, awareness, regulations)?
 What role do government policies and private sector innovations play in promoting drones
in agriculture?
 How do farmers perceive drone technology compared to traditional methods of pesticide
application?
Use of pesticide via drones to control aphid in China

Drones has been widely used in modern farming management, including pest and disease
control in China in recent years. In this study spray performance of small plant protection
drones at low volume spray was evaluated by adjusting pesticide dosage. Droplet deposition,
droplet density, coverage, control effect and pesticide residue from field trials were assessed.
The residue and control effect of drone spray were compared to manual knapsack at high
volume spray. It reduces the dose of imidacloprid upto 20%. The residue and control effect of
drone spray were compared to manual knapsack at high volume spray. Thus, plant protection
drone spraying pesticide by adding appropriate dosage showed the ability of improving the
pesticide effectiveness by improving the control efficiency, reducing the pesticide dosage and
residue.

Drone Technology for pest and disease management in cotton in Burkina Faso

Drones have a wide range of applications, including mapping, land-use planning, crop damage
assessment, fertilizer spraying and precision crop protection. It is still limited in agriculture
sector of Africa and Burkina Faso. This study was initiated to explore the potential of drones
for optimizing cotton yields through monitoring and phytosanitary efficiency. Phytosanitary
treatments and aerial photography were respectively carried out using a DJI AGRAS T16
spray drone and a DJI Phantom 4 Multispectral drone. Phytosanitary treatment with DJI
AGRAS T16 drone resulted in savings of 32.41% in treatment duration, 23.58% in water, 1%
in pesticides and 10.5% in labor compared with manual spraying, but did not have a positive
impact on boll yields due to jassid populations attack. The use of appropriate tank-mix
adjuvants in drone-based plant protection for cotton can significantly improve the performance
of spray dilutions, increase the efficiency of pesticide dosage delivery, and improve disease
control. These adjuvants can also help reduce the pesticide use while ensuring their
effectiveness.

Countries which priorities pesticide application by drones

India Indian government introduced some policies


regarding pesticide application by drones which
require specific approval.

Canada regulates drone applications for


Canada pesticides under its Pest Control Products Act.
Known for early adoption of agricultural
Japan technology, Japan employs drones for pesticide
spraying, particularly in rice paddies

China is a leader in drone adoption for


China agriculture, given its large-scale farming
operations.

With vast farmlands, Australia utilizes drones


Australia for pesticide application to cover large areas
more efficiently.

Pakistan perspective

Challenges in adopting pesticide application by drones

In Pakistan farmer take low risk as much as he can. In this modern era of agriculture, majority
farmers still working with traditional cropping system. Farmers hesitate to adopt modern
technologies like drone application due to high initial cost. In last few years, pesticide application
in Pakistan increasing rapidly. Farmers WTP (willing to pay) percentage is low for health risk
management. This experiment was performed in 2 areas of Punjab (Vehari, Lodhran), this show
that only 20% farmers willing to pay for health risk that caused by pesticide. Farmers are well
aware that cotton production gets high after use of pesticide but they are not well aware of these
pesticide cause health risk and other environmental problem. Those farmers that are not willing to
pay for these modern technologies are poor and small scale farmer with no or limited education.

Role of government and private sectors in promoting drone use

Research and development on IPM was initiated in Pakistan in the 70’s, but the effort of
implanting IPM in field was not fruitful. The major problem was mindset of farmer and their
economic status. The another major problem is low scale farmer while IPM is applied only on
large field. Some private sectors are working on it and the main problem is that we have shortage
of drones pilots and operators and GOVT also not encouraging this drone application on small
field.
