New Delhi To promote use of nano fertilisers across the country, leading cooperative IFFCO will procure 2,500 agri-drones and train 5,000-odd rural entrepreneurs as part of its national campaign launched on Tuesday.

Already, IFFCO has signed an agreement for procurement of the drones -- to be used for spraying of its products nano urea and nano di-ammonium phosphate (DAP) -- in a phased manner. Along with drones, the cooperative will also procure 2,500 electric three- wheelers (loader types) to carry drones to farmers' fields, IFFCO said in a statement. "The technical specifications of agri-drones being procured by IFFCO for spray of nano fertilisers are in accordance with the industry standards," IFFCO said.

It is expected that one agri-drone would be able to cover 20 acres per day for spraying IFFCO nano fertilizers and bio-stimulants like Sagarika, Agro-chemicals etc with backup, it said. IoTechWorld Avigation, Dhaksha Unmanned Systems, General Aeronautics and Paras Aerospace are some of the leading agri-drone manufacturers in the country.
