Agriculture
Using drones in precision agriculture allow you to efficiently disperse weed control or fertilizers and to optimize field management.
You can reduce agricultural operations costs, improve crop quality, and increase yield rate of you cultivation

Precision agriculture with UP drones: benefits
Reduction of consumption and waste
Reduction of hourly costs
An accurate report and database
Rational use of resources
Payloads
Mapping and surveying to gather data
To build high-resolution, centimetre-accurate 3D and 2D maps and models for precision agriculture, UP drones conduct the aerial survey using specific devices as payloads: multispectral, thermal, LiDAR or RGB sensors (for photogrammetry).
You can use these payloads for:
-
RGB maps
A basic Red-Green-Blue map allow you to see exactly how much land you have to grow on (to the centimeter), and helps you with crop monitoring over a long time, suggesting how you can adjust your work from season to season
-
NDVI maps
Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) show you the amount of infrared light reflected in an area, which indicates malnourishment and drought.
Cropdusting, spraying and insects release
Spraying too much concentrated in one place, potentially decreases the quality of your cultivation and is an extra cost.
A low concentration risks to leave your crops vulnerable to being overgrown with weeds, malnourished, or eaten by insects and other predators. Also in this case potentially you will decrease the yield rate.
The right drone and spraying payload can distribute chemicals evenly and efficiently:
-
Fertilizer
-
Herbicide
-
Fungicide
-
Pesticide
-
Seeds
-
Desiccants
-
Useful insects
