BATU PAHAT, May 26 — Drones spraying pesticide, sensors taking soil readings, sprinklers that squirt fertiliser at the touch of a button — a Malaysian plantation is using high-tech methods to boost its crop of pungent durians.

In a competitive market, Malaysian grower Top Fruits Plantations has turned to high-tech methods to lift its output. "When you give what is needed, the fruit will be much more consistent. The shape will be better, and the aroma will be better," added Tan, who has more than 30 years' experience growing durians.

Sprinklers attached to a network of pipes are remotely activated to spray fertiliser onto the trees, while drones hover over the plantation squirting pesticide.
