Sugarcane, known scientifically as Saccharum officinarum, is a crucial crop in India. It has a significant part in the country’s agricultural economy. Millions of farmers depending on sugarcane cultivation, so advancement is required in this field to achieve more yield for the farmers.

Spraying pesticides and fertilizers traditionally on sugarcane is time consuming, challenging and laborious method. However, advancement of drone in agricultural field is revolutionizing the farming. Multiplex Drone Pvt. Ltd., a subsidiary of the Multiplex Group of Companies, is leading this transformation. The drones manufactured by Multiplex Drone Pvt. Ltd. such as MD-10H and MD-10H+ are famous for efficiency and effective crop spraying.

Challenges:

Spraying medicine on Sugarcane field traditionally is always a challenging task. Due to the tall and dense nature of sugarcane, uniform spraying is difficult using conventional methods. Manual spraying is not only labour-intensive and time-consuming but also exposes farmers to harmful chemicals. Tractors with boom sprayers may damage crops and soil, require large amounts of water and chemicals, and are difficult to control in the dense fields.

Drone -The New Age Solution:

Besides all the other field, drone has impactful application in agriculture. Equipped with advanced sensors and cameras, drones are now being used for crop monitoring, scouting, and spraying. Multiplex Drone Pvt. Ltd. has developed specialized drones, such as the MD-10H and MD-10H+, designed specifically for spraying Agri-inputs on crops. The drones are tested for spraying over 58 different types of crops such as Sugarcane, Areca-nut, Mango, Date Palm, paddy, wheat, tomato, onion, potato, millets, soyabean, banana, Tea etc. These drones can carry up to 10 lt. of spray input and cover 1 acre of sugarcane field efficiently in less than 7 minutes. By flying over the crops, these drones ensure uniform and precise spraying of Agri-inputs, reducing wastage and ensuring better crop health.

Benefits of using Drones for Sugarcane Spraying:

• Efficiency and Precision: The drones manufactured by Multiplex Drone can spray 1 acre of farm land in just 7 minutes which helps in covering large areas quickly and precisely. 

• Reduced Chemical Usage: The precision of drone spraying reduces the overuse of pesticides and chemical medicines, which is cost-effective and environmentally friendly. Our drone can help you to reduce over usage of chemical medicines in farming. 

• Water Saving: These drones can reduce Agri-water consumption by 85%.

• Time-Saving: These drones can complete spraying tasks much faster than manual labour or tractors, reducing spraying time by up to 80%.

• Accessibility: The MD-10H and MD-10H+, both drones are equipped with advanced terrain radar and sensors which help them to navigate easily through difficult terrains and reach areas that might be inaccessible to tractors or manual sprayers.

All these benefits of the drones, manufactured by Multiplex Drone, help the farmers to increase the yield by 20%. Multiplex Drone Pvt. Ltd. is actively involved in conducting field trials and demonstrations with farmers in various regions. Farmers who participated in these trials have given positive feedback about increased yields, reduced labour costs, and improved crop health.

Conclusion:

The future of drone spraying in sugarcane cultivation looks promising. As technology advances and becomes more affordable, more farmers are likely to adopt this innovative solution. Multiplex Drone Pvt. Ltd. is committed to revolutionizing sugarcane farming in India through our advanced drone technology.
