Crop Scouting
Drones allow farmers to scout for weeds, pests, and diseases on a more frequent basis without the time and labor required for ground methods.
Cattle Monitoring
Drones are used to monitor the health and location of livestock, making it easier to manage large herds and quickly address any issues that arise.
Crop Monitoring
Vast fields and low efficiency in crop monitoring make drones the perfect solution for periodic crop surveillance to ensure health and growth.
Data Collection for Research
Researchers use drones to collect large datasets over time, which can be used to analyze trends and developments in agricultural practices and crop genetics.
Spraying
Drones can carry tanks of fertilizers or pesticides, allowing for the application of these substances more precisely and frequently to the areas of need.
Health Assessment
Utilizing visible and near-infrared light, drones can capture images which reveal patterns that indicate a plant's health, including signs of disease and malnutrition.
Soil and field analysis
Drones can create detailed maps for soil analysis, which helps in planning seed planting patterns. After planting, this data informs irrigation and nitrogen-level management.
Planting
Some drones have the capability to shoot seed pods with nutrients into the soil, providing a more efficient planting method that requires less labor.
Irrigation
Drones equipped with thermal or hyperspectral sensors can identify which parts of a field are dry or need improvements in water management.
Field Leveling
Drones can map a field and its topography, aiding farmers in leveling their field for irrigation or determining proper drainage patterns.
