Manual application of agriculture fertilizer and chemical for growth of crops and to kill insects respectively is hazardous. Instead, a spraying drone is used to spray the pesticide as well as fertilizer, thus keeping a person safe from pesticide poisoning. The drone can spray 50to 100 acres per day, 30 times more than traditional spraying method resulting in the reduction of labour cost.

Surveying is the precise science of determining the positions of the distances between, points in 2D and 3D space. With their ability to capture data from above, drones have been successfully integrated into surveying workflows to perform Land surveys, Mining survey activities, Photogrammetry, 3D mapping, Topographic surveying, and more. In sum, drone surveying produces quality results quickly, profitably and safely.

Assessment of the health of a crop, as well as early detection of crop infestations, is critical in ensuring good agricultural productivity. Some drones are capable of scanning crops using visible and near-infrared light. On-board light processing devices are then able to identify the amounts of green and near-infrared light reflected by the plants. This data is then used to develop multi-spectral images which depict the plant health.

Agronomists are experts dealing with the science and technology of soil management, crop production, and use of fertilizer and high-efficiency plant nutrients. By examining and understanding the science that affects crops, agronomists conduct research in crop rotation, irrigation, plant breeding, soil classification and soil fertility. They educate farmers with valuable agricultural information for better growth.

In agriculture, a soil test commonly refers to the analysis of a soil sample to determine Micro nutrient content, composition, and other characteristics such as NPK Values.
