Syngenta And IoTechWorld Avigation Will Commercially Begin Spraying Agrochemicals With Drones

From the upcoming Kharif season, agri-drone manufacturer IoTechWorld Avigation and agro-chemical major Syngenta India will begin commercial spraying services in many states, including Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Punjab, and Haryana.

For the same, Syngenta India signed a drone spraying agreement with IoTechWorld in February 2023.

IoTechWorld and Syngenta have already conducted the drone yatra in 13 states, demonstrating the benefits of agriculture drones to over 1 lakh farmers over a 17,000-kilometer journey, according to a statement from the startup.

A joint pilot activity using actual agrochemicals was successfully carried out in Ludhiana, Punjab, where farmers and agri-entrepreneurs were briefed on the advantages of using drone technology in agrochemical spraying.

"We have joined hands with Syngenta India to facilitate drone spraying across India," said IoTechWorld co-founders Deepak Bhardwaj and Anoop Upadhyay. "We conducted a pilot in the state of Punjab, and the response has been very positive. As a next step, both companies intend to expand their operations in the states of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, and West Bengal," they said.
