4. Drones in Agriculture ๐Ÿšœ

Drones are also transforming agriculture by helping farmers monitor their crops and livestock more efficiently. This is known as precision agriculture. Hereโ€™s how drones are used in this field:

๐ŸŒฑ Crop Monitoring

Drones equipped with multispectral sensors can fly over fields and capture detailed images that reveal the health of crops. Farmers can analyze these images to detect:

  • Drought stress: If certain areas are too dry, drones can map out the affected regions.
  • Pest infestations: By analyzing plant health, drones can detect signs of pests before the damage becomes too severe.
  • Soil health: Drones can help monitor soil moisture levels and map out areas that need irrigation.

By using drones, farmers save time, increase efficiency, and reduce costs.
