Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) for Smart Agriculture

Global food and environmental securitySecurity would be threatened by current socioeconomic and climatic concerns. Agriculture systems are being stressed by the emergence of population-feeding issues, and increased use of pesticides, fertilisers, uneven irrigation scheduling, the appearance of pests and diseases, etc., are leading to a sharp decline in overall productionProduction as well as disturbed soil microbial communities and soil quality maintenance. Smart farming involves utilising drones, to change conventional farming operations in order to reduce the current damaging issues and to achieve the objective of sustainable agricultureIslam. Drone technology is used in smart agriculture for a variety of tasks, crop health surveillance, planting, spraying process, field scrutiny, evaluation of soil, and weed control which are all part of the process. UAV are equipped with a variety of sensors, to map field water, schedule irrigation for crop plants, detect water shortages, and detect impurities in water. Drones use various spectral images in combination with cameras (3D cameras, thermal, multispectral, and optical imaging cameras), global positioning system (GPS), and other technologies to track down and locate plant diseases as well as to prevent pests from attacking healthy crop plants. Complex agricultural environmentsEnvironmenteconomic are also examined. A promising strategy to assist effective, lucrative, and sustainable agricultural productionProduction is smart farming (SF), which is based on improvements in drone technology outfitted with cameras, sensors, and GPS systems.
