Play real-life farmville!

So, apart from spying on your neighbors and harassing pigeons, drones can be used extensively in the agricultural domain. Just like humans, plants need regular surveillance too, and irrigation drones like the Diskoplan allow you to keep track of your plants. Diskoplan allows farmers to see which crops are in danger of pests, or which need water, or even harvesting. They can remotely deploy pesticides or water in that zone, without having to walk across vast expanses of land and perform those duties (including the inspection) themselves. Diskoplan also comes with storage space for emergency equipment, including a parachute, in case it catches some technical snag in the sky. Nifty, ain’t it??
