PENYEMPROTAN PESTISIDA MENGGUNAKAN AGRO-DRONE PADA DESA MAJANNANG KECAMATAN PARIGI KABUPATEN GOWA

Abstract

The purpose of this community service activity is to increase insight and help farmers of Majannang Village, Parigi District, Gowa Regency in managing their agricultural land using one of the smart agriculture system technologies that are currently being applied in several regions in Indonesia, namely using agricultural drones (agro-drones). The stages of implementing activities are preparation, procurement of tools and materials, assembly and testing of agro-drones, implementation of service activities, preparation of reports and publication of activities. Implementation of activities in the field, the Agro- drone PPDM team sprayed pesticides on 3 farmers' rice fields by spending 1 liter of pesticide mixture. The area of rice fields that were sprayed was around 180 m2 with a spraying time of only about 9 minutes. The condition of the rice fields that are terraced and twisted is an obstacle in itself so that it causes a little difficulty in completing the spraying so that the implementation of this spraying is not optimal. However, the partners felt the benefits of this service activity and really hope that this activity will continue in the future.
