00:00With the help of the service providers obtained by the D.A.,

00:08500 units of agricultural drones are now being used in farming in our country.

00:15It serves up to 150,000 hectares of agricultural land in different parts of the country.

00:23So what does this agricultural drone do?

00:26Yes, ma'am. It can now plant rice, spray, and fertilize.

00:37Why is this type of technology, agricultural drone, so important?

00:42This is a big help to our farmers because it makes their work easier.

00:48How does it make the work easier?

00:51It's like spraying. It's more efficient.

00:59According to them, because of the agricultural drones,

01:02the planting and fertilization of fertilizers and pesticides in the fields becomes faster and more calculated.

01:10Just think of it, to plant one hectare of land, it will only take 7 to 10 minutes.

01:18It's a big difference compared to the traditional method that takes almost a whole day for each hectare.

01:28The farmer doesn't know where to stop because it will reload again.

01:34But here, it's on the map.

01:36Yes, ma'am. It's on the map.

01:38And you were saying earlier about the chemicals so that it won't be exposed.

01:45Yes, ma'am. It also helps our people so that the farmers won't be exposed to the chemicals used in the farm.

01:58Because of the pesticides?

02:00Yes, ma'am. It also affects the people, especially when they do it manually.

02:06But this one, it will spray?

02:10Yes, ma'am.

02:12Because it can reach far.

02:15So, it can reach up to 1 kilometer of land.

02:21It will also be a way for the farmers to save on the cost of fertilizers and other chemicals that they use.

02:31Because it's calculated when you put it in an agricultural drone.

02:36What you need to plant in an hectare is 50 kilos per hectare.

02:46So, it will distribute the 50 kilos per hectare.

02:52Usually, what they do manually is 150 kilos per hectare.

02:59That's how much the farmer can save.

03:01Why is it more when it's manually compared to a drone?

03:05Because that's what the farmer usually does.

03:10Because when a person throws it like that, not all of it will go in.

03:15Yes, ma'am. It's not evenly distributed.

03:18I'm sure you've already seen a drone.

03:20We use this for taking footage, for coverage, for weddings. There's always a drone, right?

03:26But have you ever seen such a big drone?

03:32It's amazing, right?

03:33This is not for taking footage.

03:35This drone is called an agricultural drone.

03:39What it does is, believe it or not, it plants rice.

03:45It can plant rice, spread fertilizer, and even spray pesticides.

03:52So, we've already planted pesticides.

03:57Just kidding.

03:58We've just planted water.

04:00Just water.

04:01To demonstrate to us how it can spray chemicals.

04:08And how many minutes it can last to spray, let's say, one hectare of land.

04:15Let's take a look.

04:17What is this?

04:18We're mapping it, ma'am.

04:20Oh, you're mapping it.

04:22This is the path of the drone.

04:25Oh, to make sure that everything will hit it.

04:30And then we'll follow it?

04:32Yes, ma'am. It's fully automated.

04:34You just need to hold the phone.

04:36Oh, just the phone?

04:37Yes, ma'am.

04:38Oh, really?

04:40But can this also take a video?

04:42Yes, it can.

04:43Everything is set up, ma'am.

04:44You can now flip it.

04:46Oh, just like that?

04:48Okay.

04:49What is that?

04:51Just check if there are no people nearby.

04:54Oh, there are no people nearby.

04:56Just swipe.

04:57Wow.

04:58Wait.

04:59It's going to fly.

05:04Oh, that's great.

05:05It's flying.

05:06It's flying.

05:18It's flying.
