Technology is quickly changing the agriculture industry, making it possible to collect huge amounts of data on everything from crop yields to the variations in soil type across a field. Making the best use all of this information is the focus of the digital agriculture and precision agriculture fields. Using high-tech computer programs that help interpret vast datasets, scientists are finding ways to make farming more efficient.
Unmanned aircraft, also known as drones, have several uses in farming operations.
This is a preliminary and non-comprehensive list of the activities conducted at Louisiana State University (LSU) related to precision agriculture technologies,
Drones are a new technology available to farmers and consultants that allow a farmer or consultant to collect overhead images of farm field and land areas.
AgCenter has evaluated ways to reduce drift from the DJI AGRAS MG-1/1S suggests recommendations.
This paper describes a low cost drone system a person can assemble to perform real-time mapping.
Drift is always a concern for producers using agricultural sprayers.
Sprayer and plant-protection drones are new tools available to farmers and can be used to apply pesticides to small land areas and acreages.
One of the most-asked questions we receive about drones is concerning the licensure and registration needed for flying in the United States.
Many drones are available for taking images and mapping fields.
