 Future drone technology in precision agriculture

What is precision agriculture?

 Precision agriculture, also known as fine agriculture, is a way for farmers to manage crops to ensure the efficiency of inputs such as water and fertilizer and to maximize productivity, quality and yield. Precision agriculture also includes prevention of pests, floods and crop diseases.

 Farmers can continuously monitor crops and livestock in the air through drones and quickly detect problems that do not appear in ground spot checks. For example, they can find that some crops are not properly irrigated by UAV delay photography.

 What is an agricultural drone?

 In the past few years, agricultural UAV technology has been improving, the benefits of UAV to agriculture are becoming more and more obvious, from mapping, surveying, to crop spraying, and its application in agriculture is becoming more and more extensive. On the surface, agricultural drones are no different from other types of drones, and simple changes to ordinary drones can meet the needs of farmers. However, several drones were indeed specifically developed for agricultural purposes.

The use of drones in agriculture is increasing.

 Agricultural UAV technology

 Drawing/measurement

 The process of using UAVs to map or measure crops is relatively simple. Many of the newer agricultural drones are equipped with flight planning software that allows users to map around areas he needs to cover. The software then automatically draws flight routes and, in some cases, even prepares for camera shooting.

 As the UAV flies, it automatically takes pictures using airborne sensors and built-in cameras, and uses GPS to decide when to take each photo. But if your drone doesn't have these automatic features, then you need one person to operate the drone and another person to take pictures.

 Crop spraying/spraying

UAVs can spray more accurately than traditional tractors

 The u.s. federal aviation administration (Federal Aviation Administration, FAA) approved japan's yamaha drone RMAX in 2015 as the first plant protection drone to carry fertilizers and pesticides for crop spraying, weighing more than 55 pounds (about 25 kg). Compared with traditional tractors, the UAV can spray crops more accurately. This helps to reduce costs, and for farmers who manually spray pesticides, it can also reduce the potential for pesticide exposure.

 UAV, let agriculture "fly" up

 UAVs save farmers a lot of costs, improve efficiency, and improve profitability, thus completely changing the industry. By rapidly investigating large areas of farmland, drones can map land, report crop health, improve spraying accuracy, and monitor livestock and irrigation systems.

 The ability of UAVs to collect and analyze data in real time has brought tangible results to farmers, such as increasing crop yields, reducing resources for weeds and herbicides, and comprehensively improving management decisions.

 The future of agriculture is the world of drones

 Insider Intelligence expect the total drone market to spend more than $12 billion by 2021. So, what about the agricultural drone market?

 Global Market Insights forecast that by 2024, the agricultural drone market will exceed $1 billion and shipments will reach 200000. GMI attributed the growth to 2024 to farmers' growing awareness of the advantages and disadvantages of drones in agriculture.

 The company also claims that advances in agricultural technology will boost demand during the forecast period. Increased automation due to the lack of skilled resources and labor crisis will also increase the demand for agricultural drones. Finally, GMI hope that this part of the government project allows more operational models to help improve agricultural efficiency.

 Here comes the handy agricultural drone

 There are many types of agricultural drones on the market, including outstanding agricultural machinery.

 Grand Xinjiang Matrix 200V2

 American PrecisionHawk has established a cooperative relationship with Dajiang Company to improve the geographical positioning technology of Dajiang. PrecisionHawk" described M200 as an ideal drone in the worst agricultural environment. It has advanced obstacle detection function and can even fly at temperatures below zero.

 eBee SQ senseFly new agricultural drones

 senseFly describe drone eBee SQ as "advanced agricultural drone ". Popular with farmers, the company's proprietary eMotion software, which makes the design of flight plans extremely simple and has the ability to monitor hundreds of acres of crops.

 Sentera PHX UAV

 PHX has a full range of remote communication links and can collect 700 acres (about 28328 acres) of data. Senetra provides farmers with the ability to improve operational efficiency and plant health analysis.
