Although the use of drones has extended significantly in agriculture, there are still some technical and data treatment shortcomings that limit its full use. The project will improve the calibration of the cameras, and with it the quality of information obtained. It will also develop models that can determine the need for fertilizers, phytosanitary treatment and water in real time according to the different crops and zones of a specific area.

A project of the Leonardo Network will apply the use of drones to agriculture
