SEC | S20W6: "The Use of Drones in Agriculture
Halo teman-teman semuanya. Hari ini saya berpartisipasi pada kontes SEC | S20W6: "The Use of Drones in Agriculture".
Saya mengajak @teukuipul87 @zulbahri @patjewell untuk berpartisipasi pada kontes hebat ini. Saya menunggu partisipasi kalian pada kontes ini.
What role have drones (unmanned aerial vehicles) played in modernizing agriculture? Use your country as an example if applicable
Drones or often known as UVA (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) are unmanned aircraft that can be moved using remote control from a distance, one of its functions is used as a versatile agricultural drone destination. Along with the development of drone technology, in the world of agriculture it turns out to provide many benefits. Agricultural drone technology can provide a revolutionary solution to increase the quantity and quality of crops.
There are several advantages that can be achieved by using drone technology, including plant mapping, monitoring soil conditions, irrigation and drainage systems, and many more. By using Drone technology, it will be easier for you to arrange the position of each plant. Drones themselves have the ability to map garden conditions in 3 dimensions. This will make it easier for you to plant more neatly and orderly and can even determine the optimal seedling planting pattern.
The next benefit of Drone is that it can plant seeds faster. On the other hand, using Drone not only helps planting seeds, but also reduces the cost of planting by around 85%. Drone technology will certainly also make your work easier. By using Drone technology, you can monitor plant growth from a remote control.
How do drones contribute to precision and efficiency in agricultural practices? What are the key benefits of using drones in agriculture?
Crop spraying is a crucial task in agriculture, ensuring that crops are protected from pests and diseases. However, this process can be tedious, dangerous and inefficient. Well, drone technology is here to revolutionize crop spraying, offering incredible safety, efficiency and sustainability.
One of the most prominent advantages of crop spraying drones is increased safety. Farmers no longer need to expose themselves to hazardous chemicals or adverse weather conditions. Drones can fly above crops, spraying pesticides accurately and evenly without endangering the operator.
How do drones help manage soil moisture and nutrient levels in crops?
By using drones and sensors, farmers can monitor crops accurately and in real-time. Drones are equipped with cameras and visual sensors that can take pictures from a height, allowing farmers to see crop development more clearly. Information collected by sensors can also help farmers identify crop problems such as pest attacks or nutrient deficiencies.
Data collected by drones and sensors can be processed to make smarter decisions in plantation management. Data analysis helps farmers determine the right time for watering, fertilizing, or other treatments. This helps optimize crop growth and reduce production costs.
Explain the significance of multispectral and hyperspectral imaging sensors in agricultural drones
Vegetation index is usually used in analyzing existing ecology. Usually this ecological vegetation is to see the characteristics of water content, leaf area of a plant, and others. Also includes how the type of soil absorbs sunlight and absorbs water. Vegetation index measurement consists of reflectance measurements at two or more wavelengths.
Multispectral imaging vegetation indices are indeed diverse. However, the most frequently used one is the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI). This index is used to see the greenness of plants and photosynthesis activity. For example, if the imaging image tends to be red, the vegetation is wilting or dead.
Using the NDVI vegetation index has information benefits such as changes in soil conditions, soil moisture, identifying pests, damage caused by climate, and so on. Including in determining the duration of plant exchange or replacement.
How drones help in soil mapping and why is it important for precision farming?
Plantation management is one of the important aspects in the agricultural industry. Until now, monitoring and managing plantations still requires a lot of manpower and quite a long time. However, with the advancement of technology that continues to develop, the use of drone technology is one of the very potential solutions in terms of efficiency and effectiveness of plantation management. This technology can optimize agricultural activities by utilizing drones as a tool that provides accurate and real-time information about plantation conditions.
In this digital era, it is important for farmers and plantation managers to adopt drone technology in their daily activities. Drones can be equipped with various sensors such as cameras, thermal sensors, and multispectral sensors that are specifically designed to be able to monitor plant conditions more intensively and in detail. Data obtained from drones can provide very valuable information for farmers or plantation managers to make smarter decisions in land management, fertilization, and plant protection.
However, not only for monitoring purposes, drones can also be used for other plantation management activities. For example, drones can be used to do work related to watering plants, spraying pesticides, or even pruning plants. With the adoption of drone technology, efficiency and productivity in plantation management can increase significantly.
The use of drone technology can also provide benefits to reduce costs and risks in plantation management. With drones, farmers or plantation managers can save time and energy that were previously needed to carry out monitoring or routine work in the field. In addition, the use of drones also reduces the risk of farmers' exposure to extreme weather conditions or pesticides.

Terimakasih atas kunjungan Anda pada postingan saya pak
Using drone when farming is a must these days. The make the lives of farmers so much easier.
Iya dengan menggunakan drone saat ini sangat membantu pertanian bahkan daerah negara Indonesia sudah menggunakan teknologi tersebut
Welcome to the agro-learning challenge season 20.
Observations and suggestions:
. I commend your explanation. The fact remains that drones have helped the agro sector in achieving some level of sustainability. Various farm activities can now be carried out using the drone tool.
. The benefits of drones are vital and encompassing while attending to some of the required farm operations. Operations like crop monitoring, precision application, and pest and disease management are some of the key indicators. I hope you are more vocal next time.
. To monitor soil moisture and nutrient, the presence of multispectral and hyperspectral imaging sensors have done a great role in this field. I think you missed the line of thoughts here.
. You have demonstrated good knowledge of given tasks. Thank you for your participation. We hope to continue in the next season.
