Mango is the most important commercial grown fruit crop and world’s mango production is averaging about 22 million metric tons per year. India is largest fruit producer after china. However, the country having advantages over mango producing countries, but productivity continues to be low. To increase the overall plant health and fruit yield as well as to protect the tress from harmful fungal diseases, spraying is necessary for mango orchard. As mango is important fruit crop of Konkan region and its spraying operation is done conventionally, the operation is time consuming. UAVs are commonly used for spraying orchards. In conventional method of spraying results in excessive application of chemicals and less uniformity which further leads to more production cost. Application of pesticides with the help of UAV could have advantage of spray over crops and covering large areas quickly. UAV fly at proper height can increase pesticide penetrate effectively. This paper presents details study about development of orchard spraying system for unmanned aerial vehicle which can reduce spraying cost and loss pesticide.
