Some of the drones on display<\/strong><\/p>\nThe
\nChief Executive Officer (CEO) of Agripower Ghana Limited, Samuel Seidu, wants a
\nparadigm shift in agric production in the country, insisting that technological
\nadvancement is making it compelling for governments to encourage modern
\ntechnologies to boost food production.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe
\nworld is changing and agriculture production is also changing; farmers need to
\nembrace this new change to improve yields,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n
Mr.
\nSeidu told DAILY GUIDE<\/em><\/strong> yesterday that Agripower Ghana Limited had introduced
\nthe use of drones in agric production to make things easier for farmers,
\nexplaining that \u201cwith the drones, labour on the farms and its costs would be
\nreduced drastically with guaranteed high yields.\u201d<\/p>\nHe
\nsaid the introduction of the drone system is in support of government\u2019s
\nlaudable \u2018Planting for Food and Jobs\u2019 programme. \u201cWith the drones, fertiliser
\napplication on the farms will also be more accurate and efficient,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
He
\nsaid spraying of farms used to be cumbersome, expensive and hazardous but drone
\ntechnology had come to make things better.<\/p>\n
\u201cDrone
\ntechnology is a much safer alternative, incorporating ultrasonic, light
\ndetection and grounding lasers that offer immense relief to farmers via
\nprecision crop spraying that is five times faster than traditional crop
\nspraying. Utilizing state-of-the-art topographical scanning, agricultural
\ndrones dispense the optimal amount of fluid to ensure even coverage for proper
\ncrop growth without unnecessary waste,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
He
\nalso underscored the need to intensify irrigation projects in the country, do
\nanalyses of soil and fields and intensify crop monitoring to guarantee bumper
\nharvest at all times.<\/p>\n
\u201cDrones
\nare instrumental in today\u2019s agricultural production through their real-time, three-dimensional,
\nand ultra-precise analyses that measure the overall health of soil, planting
\npatterns, and ultimately provide crucial data for optimal irrigation and
\nnitrogen needs. Drone-powered technology is unarguably one of the most
\nphenomenal innovations in human history and has become an integral presence in
\nmany facets of society,\u201d Mr. Seidu said.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
