<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe tree plantation\ncarried out by drones works in phases.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIn the first phase, the mapping\ndrones tend to fly more than 300 feet over the land and collecting detailed\ndata regarding the topography and soil quality. An algorithm utilises this data\nto choose the best locations for planting trees and the best species of plants\nthat can be grown.<\/p><\/li>
In the next phase, the group of\ndrones that fly low over the ground, automatically follow the map for planting\nthe seeds in a customised, and nutrient-filled “seed pods”, that are\ndesigned by the plant scientists to support each species. Each drone carries a\nmix of different species of plants simultaneously. These drones then fire these\npods quickly to penetrate the soil surface.<\/p><\/li>
The process begins targeting\nlocations for planting seeds with a few centimetres. It is technically possible\nfor a germinated seeds loaded drone to plant nearly 100,000 in a day. When 60\nsuch drones are teamed up, then a billion trees can be planted in a single\nyear. The drones prove to be 10 times faster than human tree plantation, which\nis carried out bare hands.<\/p><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
