Abstract

Aims: The acceptance of drone technology is gradually rising up owing to its potential being understood by businesses. It is in this aspect that an outlook on the various factors that are responsible pertaining to the drone technology in the recent times has been carried out. Study Design:  Ex-post Facto. Place and Duration of Study: Dindigul, Tiruppur, Erode and Namakkal districts of Tamil Nadu. Methodology: Simple Random Sampling was used to select the respondents and to find out the association between the different factors, chi-square test was used. Results: There was a highly significant association between all the factors such as economic, social and personal with that of the utilization of drones in agriculture since the calculated chi–square values are more than the table values. Conclusion: The perceived factors which has been discussed in this article are a positive sign and can be used as an eye-opener to develop more farmer-friendly drones at a reasonable cost for owning them by the farmers.
