Planning and Monitoring
Drones have been a pivotal tool for agriculture and farming operations. They can be used as a crop health monitoring tool to take regular aerial surveys, as a land planning tool to identify the best area for planting or as a surveillance tool to protect from crop theft.
Land Surveillance
Studies have shown that drones can be used for surveillance which include checking on livestock, tracking pests and invasive plant species and checking on cattle for signs of illness or injury.
Crop Health Monitoring
Drones can help plan out agricultural fields in an efficient way which helps in managing the crops to reduce fertilizer application, pesticide use and water usage.
Pinpoint problems with irrigation, identify paths and entry points for predatory fauna, and identify signs of infestation or poor crop growth.
