MANILA, Philippines – The Philippine Rice Research Institute (PhilRice) is leveraging drone technology to spray herbicides and manage weeds in rice plantations.
According to PhilRice, researchers discovered that drones can effectively control weeds in wet direct-seeded rice. This innovation has the potential to transform weed management into a modern farming practice.
“This is especially useful for large rice fields,” the institute noted, highlighting the efficiency and precision that drone technology brings to agricultural operations.
