Aerial crop monitoring, using drones or satellites, has revolutionized the way farmers and horticulturists observe and manage their crops. This technology provides real-time data on crop health, soil conditions, water availability, and pest presence, allowing for more informed decision-making. Aerial monitoring helps detect issues such as nutrient deficiencies, water stress, and disease outbreaks early, which enables timely interventions to minimize crop losses. It also allows for precision agriculture techniques, where resources like water, fertilizer, and pesticides can be applied more efficiently. By enhancing the monitoring and management of crops, aerial crop monitoring promotes more sustainable practices and can increase yields while reducing environmental impact.
