Drone technology is revolutionizing horticulture through precision farming, agricultural surveillance, and yield estimation. Equipped with multispectral and hyperspectral sensors, drones enhance crop health monitoring, while GPS and GIS technologies support the precise application of pesticides and fertilizers. They also improve disaster response speed and minimize environmental impacts. Despite these advancements, challenges such as high initial costs, legal constraints, and a lack of technological expertise persist. Future research and regulatory adjustments will be crucial for the broader adoption of drones in Indian horticulture.
