Despite their advantages, agricultural spraying drones also face challenges that farmers must consider. Payload capacity remains a limitation compared to large ground sprayers, requiring more frequent refilling on large farms.
Weather sensitivity is another factor. Strong winds, rain, and extreme temperatures can limit drone operations and affect spray accuracy.
Initial training and regulatory compliance may also present barriers, especially for small-scale farmers. However, these challenges are gradually being addressed through improved design and supportive policies.
Understanding these limitations allows farmers to integrate agricultural spraying drones effectively alongside other farming tools.
