CMFRI demonstrates use of drones for nutrient spraying in pineapple fields

Kochi, Dec 12 (UNI) In an attempt to promote the widespread adoption of drone technology, the Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK) Ernakulam under ICAR-Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI) has demonstrated the use of drones for nutrient spraying in pineapple fields in Keerampara near Kothamangalam.
This showcased the advantages of drone technology in reducing water, labour, and time, making it a promising innovation for pineapple farming, particularly in the spiky-leaf Vazhakkulam pineapple, which is famous in the Ernakulam district.
Since pineapple farming is labour-intensive with the crop’s sharp, spiky leaves and dense planting, the manual nutrient application is challenging and time-consuming.
