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.
