Started Mar. 24, 2023

Abstract or project description

This investigation of drones has enlightened people to the varieties of benefits, thanks to the drones programmable and mechanical capabilities, in the agricultural crop department. Drones offer several advantages in crop management, including remote sensing capabilities, high-resolution imaging, and precision application of inputs. By capturing aerial data, drones enable farmers to monitor crop health, identify areas of stress or disease, and make informed decisions regarding irrigation, fertilization, and pest control. This targeted approach can lead to enhanced crop yields, reduced resource wastage, and optimized resource allocation. Moreover, the use of drones can contribute to sustainability in agriculture by minimizing chemical usage, conserving water, and reducing soil erosion. However, challenges such as cost, regulations, and technical limitations need to be considered. This research aims to provide comprehensive insights into the benefits, limitations, and potential improvements associated with integrating drones into crop farming, ultimately contributing to the advancement of technological precision agriculture.
