style="font-weight: 400;">At the start of the pandemic, one of the novel ways drones were used to keep people from getting infected was as flying disinfectant dispensers.</span></p><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Using a drone, health care professionals were able to spray disinfectant over large public areas more quickly than they could if they walked around spraying.</span></p><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For some, the fact that drones could be equipped to spray anything at all may have come as a surprise, but not if you worked in agriculture with drones.</span></p><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In fact, the specific drones that were used to spray disinfectant were ag drones—drones like those made by XAG, a Chinese company devoted to making drones for agriculture, or like those in DJI’s Agras series, all of which are made for work in agriculture.</span></p><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A standout feature of these drones is that they’re equipped with sprayers, allowing farmers to get more coverage in a shorter period of time for dispensing pesticides or substances to help their crops grow.</span></p><p></p><p></p><figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="900" height="600" class="wp-image-7104"
