Agricultural drone

Multispectral sensors are used on agricultural drones to image electromagnetic radiation beyond the visible spectrum, including near-infrared and short-wave infrared.

[3] These rules require that commercial drone operators pass a knowledge exam, register their aircraft, and fly in accordance with published restrictions.

Other companies might start flying their drones in unregulated areas to survey their competition and the condition of their crops and agricultural yield.

Farmers will fly a drone over their crops, accurately identify an issue in a specific area, and take the necessary actions to correct the problem.

Pilot programs in Tanzania are focusing on minimizing those costs, producing agricultural drones simple and rugged enough to be repaired locally.

[11] A research team from Washington State University has developed an automated drone system that deters pests like crows or European starlings from feeding on grapes and other crops.
