At a time when the farming community is facing several challenges, especially shortage of skilled workers amid the COVID-19 outbreak, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) are offering solution to many of their issues.
The Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK) at Ambalavayal under the Kerala Agricultural University (KAU) recently demonstrated its modern rice technology protocol using UAV at three sites in Wayanad recently.
The programme was aimed at sensitising the farming community to achieve maximum production from a limited area and how to tide over the shortage of trained workers.
