Research progress of agricultural drones to monitor the growth of forage crops

With the rapid development of technologies such as artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things, the agricultural field has also been effectively applied. In this context, agricultural drones emerged as the times require and have become a major technological innovation in the agricultural field. Research progress of agricultural drones to monitor the growth of forage crops.

Agricultural UAV is an unmanned aerial vehicle system that can fly within the range of farmland and perform various agricultural operations through high-resolution images and sensor information. With the advancement of agricultural technology, agricultural drones have been gradually used in agricultural production and scientific research.

As an application field of agricultural drones, the growth and monitoring of forage crops is an important aspect. Forage crops are an important part of agricultural planting, which can provide rich protein and nutrients for certain livestock, so the growth and monitoring of forage crops is particularly important.

Agricultural drones are used in the growth and monitoring of forage crops. Through high-precision topographic images, they can judge soil fertility, land moisture, etc., so as to conduct data analysis on the growth and development of forage crops.

At the same time, through the collection of multiple sensor data such as multi-spectral and infrared cameras, canopy detection and high-precision remote sensing image analysis of forage crops can be realized. While predicting crop yield more accurately, it is also conducive to the detection and elimination of Various unfavorable factors.

In this regard, domestic and foreign scientific and technological teams have actively developed and applied agricultural drones, and have achieved a series of remarkable results. For example, the research team of Kansas State University in the United States has developed a Doppler radar equipped with drones to detect the growth of forage crops and land improvement; The UAV system has been successfully applied in local agricultural production practice.

At present, in practical applications, the monitoring technology of agricultural drones still has a lot to be improved. For example, the combination of artificial intelligence technology and monitoring data can better predict and process the output of agricultural products such as forage crops and optimize the economy. benefit.

In short, the technical application of agricultural drones to monitor the growth of forage crops is not only an important direction of agricultural scientific research, but also will continuously improve the quality and efficiency of crop growth in agricultural production and promote a new field of sustainable agricultural development.
