2. Our Topic is Unmanned Drone Based Aerial Pesticide Sprayer. This technology is
based on drone which aims have an impact on agricultural development by helping
the farmers working on the fields.

3. Usually a farmer carries the spray
with them and visits the field physically to spray the pesticides on the land.
But we aim to make this process unmanned. We plan to set booths at several
locations where the farmer visits the booth, pays for the pesticide and
provides the address of the land. The operator will control the drone with
mobile app technology. He will fill the tank of the drone with the required
fertilizers, set the location of the land using GPRS as well as the retuning
route and sends the drone to that field. The drone uses this information to
reach the land, sprays the pesticides and returns back. So there is zero
involvement of human with the harmful pesticides.

4. This technology helps general
people in three main ways:

Time, Value and Health.

Starting with the first point time,
usually it takes 8 hours to spray 15kgs of fertilizers on the land. But with
the help of our system it only takes 30 minutes to spray the same fertilizer.
This saves a huge amount of time.

Coming to the second point, it cost
around 15-20 USD in this normal process but it will cost only 2-3 USD with the
drone technology

The third point is the health issues.
In a research we found that this pesticides exposure causes several diseases
such as neurological and skin disease. According to a research by WHO, around
3million worker are affected from which 18000 dies.

All these issues can be solved with
the use of this drone technology.

6. We have calculated and found that
this technology reduces 10% of the effect that I have mentioned earlier which
saves 1800 in one year. We believe this percentage will gradually increase every
year making the technology 100% effective.
