Akola sits at the heart of Vidarbha's cotton-soyabean tract, with deep black soils of the Purna valley across Akot, Telhara, Murtijapur and Balapur talukas, and tur as the third big kharif crop. The district hosts Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Vidarbha's agricultural university. Drone spraying fits because pink bollworm windows on cotton are short and late-season cotton grows too tall for workers to cover fast enough on foot.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the drone spraying price per acre for cotton in Akola?
Cotton spraying by drone in Akola typically runs ₹450-₹550 per acre depending on crop height and plot size; contiguous plots in Akot or Telhara often get better group rates. One drone covers 20-25 acres a day, so a whole village block can finish a bollworm round in two or three days. Confirm current rates in the CropWings app.
When should I book drone spraying for pink bollworm in Akola?
Book as soon as pheromone-trap counts cross the economic threshold, usually from late August through October in the Purna valley. Pink bollworm damage is locked in once larvae enter bolls, so the spray window is only a few days. CropWings pilots based in Vidarbha can usually reach Akola plots within 24-48 hours of booking.
Does drone spraying work on soyabean in Murtijapur and Balapur?
Yes. Soyabean in Murtijapur and Balapur mainly needs sprays against girdle beetle, semilooper and pod borer between August and September. Drones cover the closed canopy evenly from above without trampling plants, which knapsack crews cannot avoid in a dense soyabean stand. Most farmers pair one vegetative-stage and one pod-fill spray.
