Drones can be outfitted with precision spraying systems to apply fertilizers, pesticides, and other treatments only where needed. This reduces chemical usage, minimizes environmental impact, and improves efficiency compared to traditional broadcast spraying
Thermal cameras on drones can detect variations in crop water stress, helping farmers optimize irrigation schedules and reduce water waste. Drones can also be used to map soil moisture levels across fields to guide precision irrigation.
Drones equipped with multispectral and hyperspectral cameras can capture detailed imagery of crop health indicators like the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI). This data allows farmers to identify areas of crop stress, disease, or nutrient deficiencies early, enabling targeted intervention.
