Abstract: The adoption of hexacopter drones for fertilizer spraying in agriculture signifies a major leap forward in precision farming techniques. These drones, with their distinctive six-rotor setup, offer enhanced stability and greater payload capacity, essential for the precise and efficient application of fertilizers. This study explores the use of hexacopter drones outfitted with advanced GPS and sensor systems to deliver fertilizers accurately, thus optimizing usage and minimizing environmental harm. Hexacopters' ability to traverse difficult terrains and swiftly cover extensive fields results in considerable labor and time savings compared to traditional methods. However, the widespread use of this technology faces obstacles such as high initial investment costs, regulatory compliance issues, and the need for specialized training. This paper provides a detailed analysis of the technical specifications, benefits, challenges, and future prospects of using hexacopter drones for fertilizer spraying, highlighting their potential to improve agricultural productivity and sustainability.
