Agriculture plays a critical role in the economy of many countries. Pesticide and herbicide solutions make the farm field disinfect the pest, rats, and other living organisms that destroy the goods. Doing all these processes manually takes lots of time and requires several workers to work in the fields. Moreover, close contact with pesticide and herbicide solutions can disturb many organs' functionality in the human body and cause nerve damage and chronic diseases for farmers. This paper proposes an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) with an adjustable angle of the sprayer to lift the heavy load (up to five kilograms) for pesticides/herbicides. The UAV decreases the farmers' contact with toxic substances and increases the farms' productivity. It also has a built-in GPS and Surveillance camera for the farmers to monitor the farm precisely. With a unique foldable design, farmers can carry it around easily. A UAV with four propellers (Quadcopter) has been designed and successfully tested during this project. Based on the testing results, the spraying time with the UAV has improved by about 83.4% compared with the manual process. The farmers can safely and quickly use the UAV to disinfect the farm field with the proposed solution.
