Best friends steemit all greetings success always for all of you wherever you are....

Agricultural technology plays a very important role so farmers must use new technology to increase agricultural yields. Before continuing I try to invite steemit friends @f2i5, @mini80 and @nahela to join the challenge “”SEC | S20W6: “The Use of Drones in Agriculture”.

What role have drones (unmanned aerial vehicles) played in modernizing agriculture? Use your country as an example if applicable.

Drones are unmanned vehicles that can increase agricultural yields. In this case, of course, by using this tool, it will potentially increase agricultural yields. Basically, as an agricultural country, Indonesia has the potential to use drones. Especially in an effort to modernize agriculture, utilizing drones will provide enormous benefits.

In Indonesia, the use of drones has become very important, especially for large agribusiness managers. Small groups are also starting to use drones in an effort to increase agricultural yields. By seeing this potential, the use of drones will grow in the community, and they will join groups that want to increase their agricultural yields.

How do drones contribute to precision and efficiency in agricultural practices? What are the key benefits of using drones in agriculture?

The use of drones at least provides precision in several things both in the management of natural resources. very optimal utilization of time, as well as efforts to increase agricultural yields as every farmer wants.

By using drones, each farmer will be able to save or manage expenses both from fertilizing crops, spraying pests in the form of pesticides, herbicides and insecticides. This is because using modern technology will make agricultural yields increase.

Soil and crop mapping and irrigation management will be improved, especially with the Geographic Information System on a drone that will be utilized in modern agriculture.

Increasing agricultural yields and reducing environmental impact are two things that sometimes backfire on farmers. But when utilizing drones these two will be resolved and the possibility of occurrence is very small. Because everything has been accurately predicted by technology that is made to increase agricultural yields.

How do drones help manage soil moisture and nutrient levels in crops?

Drones can help monitor soil nutrition with precision, especially by using super advanced technology and supported by the sensors owned by the drones we use.

The detection of nutrient deficiencies by drones makes it very easy for farmers to regulate the pattern of nutrient provision needed by plants. There are also irrigation optimization patterns that can be obtained from the use of drones, which are able to monitor dry areas and soil moisture levels so that these can be resolved which will ultimately increase agricultural yields.

Even the level of real time monitoring that is carried out as a result results in adjustments to the appropriate level of use of various nutrients, pest spraying and of course this will make farmers save costs incurred which in turn will make farmers benefit from the costs incurred as well as provide other potential increases in agricultural yields. All of which is what anyone wants, saving costs and increasing income from managing the farm.

Explain the significance of multispectral and hyperspectral imaging sensors in agricultural drones.

Multispectral imaging that serves as a tool for monitoring crop stress levels, optimizing irrigation, vegetation index and plant health detection. This is an integral part of using multispectral imaging tools. So that whatever happens to the plants can be monitored so that action can be taken by farmers in an effort to manage agriculture.

Hyperspectral Imaging is a sensor that has various sensors whose job is to detect more in-depth about plants. It addresses early on several things that will ultimately increase agricultural yields. Some of what is done using hyperspectral is detailed detection of planting areas, both about soil conditions, detection of nutrients and early detection of plant stress that affects the actions we take and even the level of maturity of agricultural products that are closely related to the harvesting process and the right harvest time.

Although the cost of using the two imaging variants is clearly different from the price. But combining the two will get very maximum results, especially since the benefits of both are very large. Especially in detecting about agricultural land, which affects the actions that will be taken by farmers. Everything does cost money, but in accordance with what the farmers want.

How drones help in soil mapping and why is it important for precision farming?

In terms of mapping the land that we will do in precision agriculture, of course, it goes through various stages. But I will try to review a few things. First, we plan the place and area of drone flight which of course uses sensors that have the ability to detect various things related to the soil or topography of the land used as an agricultural area. The next stage is data collection followed by processing the data obtained to make a map of the agricultural area.

provides enormous benefits to farmers, especially in terms of financing and time required. All of which boils down to increasing agricultural yields by prioritizing the actions that must be taken to overcome the problem of costs, nutrients needed, which have the potential to improve the quality of harvests and yields as well as the initial actions that can be taken by farmers.

In the end, farmers can plan well for the crops that will be planted on the land that has been mapped using advanced technology, which has an effect on increasing crop yields, but production costs can be reduced or in other words that agricultural management will be better by using drones that have super sophisticated technology. If this can be done with good management, then farmers will live prosperously, it will even make the younger generation to participate in the world of agriculture which prioritizes the use of technology.

Thanks to all steemit friends who have stopped by my post. Greetings @muzack1
