Challenges of Traditional Methods:

• • Farmers often struggle with monitoring crop health, soil quality, and pest infestations, leading to inefficient resource use and reduced yields.

• Traditional methods can be time-consuming and may not provide real-time data.

• limited coverage and delayed results, making it difficult to respond quickly to changing conditions.

With Drone Technology:

• Planting & Field Planning – Large-scale field mapping, Planting density maps, field layout optimization.
• Crop Health Monitoring – Multispectral & hyperspectral sensors deliver NDVI, NDRE, and vegetation indices for early stress detection, nutrient deficiencies, water stress, and disease before they spread.
• Pest & Disease Detection – Early detection maps showing hotspots of pest/disease activity.
• Precision Spraying & Spreading – Variable-rate application maps and targeted spraying/spreading.
• Soil & Field Analysis – Soil variability maps, moisture condition assessment.
• Irrigation & Water Management – Soil moisture distribution maps, irrigation uniformity analysis.
• Crop Growth & Yield Estimation – Biomass estimation, growth stage monitoring, yield prediction models.
