At the international online seminar EastFruit, under the auspices of FAO/EBRD and organized by Drone.ua and Sapienza.media, the prospects of using agricultural drones for the cultivation of vegetables and fruits were discussed. Gleb Lesoviy, a GIS specialist from DroneUA, shared crucial insights into this technology.
Drones have become a necessary tool for the rapid collection of data on the state of agricultural crops. This information allows owners of large orchards to precisely identify problematic areas and necessary procedures. Drones, in particular, gather multispectral data and visible spectrum images for agricultural monitoring.
Agricultural monitoring may encompass plant and field analysis, field measurements, and the creation of vegetation maps. This information helps determine areas where additional actions are required, such as the application of fertilizers or plant treatments. Owners of orchards and agronomists can swiftly respond to identified issues.
It is important to remember that drones are merely data collection tools, and their analysis is performed using specialized software. Data from drones aid in addressing tasks related to crop preservation and enhancement.
The utilization of agricultural drones in agriculture opens up new possibilities for precise agricultural monitoring and the optimization of vegetable and fruit production.
