Drone technology is becoming more and more popular in our lives. Drone technology; industry, art, agricultural production, and many other areas are heavily used. With the system called Agricultural Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (DRONE), at least 10 percent efficiency is expected to be achieved every year in agricultural land. In practice, agricultural lands are examined and the places where intervention is needed for soil health are determined. With the multispectral camera on it, the appearance of the land is examined and a soil map is taken and it is determined that the area of 100 hectares is photographed in 30 minutes. As a result, soil structure is analyzed, chlorophyll map is created, plant health is examined and weeds are detected. Irrigation is also checked for difficulty. After the work, it is ensured that the producer can benefit from the soil in the most efficient way. In this study, you will be informed about the types of drone types used for agricultural purposes, whether you need to register a drone owner's vehicle, selected applications and what you can see in the images. with the help of a detailed literature, those experienced in different countries and in particular for agriculture to be evaluated will be determined case for Turkey.

Human pressure on the water resources provided by natural isolated wetlands has intensified in Brazil due to an increase in agricultural land equipped with irrigation. However, the amount of water stored in these areas and its contribution to aquifer recharge is unknown. This study aimed to quantify the amount of water that can be retained in a natural wetland and to propose a model of groundwater recharge. We used remote sensing techniques involving unmanned aerial vehicle to map the wetland and highlight its internal morphology, using a red–green–blue orthomosaic and a digital surface model. The 2-D inversion and a pseudo-3-D model from electrical resistivity tomography data were used to visualize the subsurface structures and hydrologic flow paths. The wetland is a reservoir storing up to 416.996 m3 of water during the rainy months. Distinct internal compartments characterize the wetland topography and different water-volume storage, lower in the border and higher in the center. A leakage point connects surface water to groundwater through direct vertical flow, which constitutes the aquifer recharge zone. Remotely sensed very high-resolution images allied with geophysical techniques allowed complete surface and subsurface imaging and offered visual tools that contributed to understanding the hydrodynamics of the wetland.

Digital agricultural production is based on robotic agricultural technologies for the use of pesticides and fertilizers using unmanned aerial systems, which are based on unmanned aerial vehicles for monitoring agricultural land, the pesticides application, fertilizers and other agrochemicals. (Research purpose) To develop an unmanned helicopter based aircraft for applying pesticides and fertilizers, and to substantiate its technological parameters. (Materials and methods) The authors used methodological recommendations on the use of chemicals in the precision farming system, regulatory and technical documentation for unmanned aircraft systems. (Results and discussion) The authors determined the unmanned aerial vehicle main flight technical and technological parameters for the implementation of the applying pesticides and fertilizers process. They established the dependences of its productivity on the norms of introducing working fluids of pesticides and fertilizers, the agricultural field length, and the approach distance to the field. (Conclusions) The authors developed a helicopter-type unmanned aerial vehicle of a coaxial design with a take-off mass of 280 kilograms and a payload of 50-80 kilograms, a rotor diameter of 5.3 meters, a constructive boom width with sprayers of 5 meters, a working flight height of 1-5 meters, a working speed of 40-60 kilometers per hour, the rate of working fluid of pesticides application 10-20 liters per hectare and nitrogen fertilizers 30-120 liters per hectare. They established rational values for the application rates of pesticides – 10-20 liters per hectare, the agricultural field length – at least 0.8 kilometers, ensuring maximum productivity in flight hour when processing the agricultural field. They showed that the flight distance minimizing from the runway to the field significantly increased the productivity of applying pesticides and fertilizers.

The purpose of this scientific survey is to support the research being conducted at York University in the field of spectroscopy and nanosatellites using Argus 1000 micro- spectrometer and low cost unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) system. <br><br> On the CanX-2 mission, the Argus spectrometer observes reflected infrared solar radiation emitted by Earth surface targets as small as 1.5 km within the 0.9-1.7 μm range. However, limitations in the volume of data due to onboard power constraints and a lack of an onboard camera system make it very difficult to verify these objectives using ground truth. In the last five years that Argus has been in operation, we have made over 200 observations over a series of land and ocean targets. <br><br> We have recently examined algorithms to improve the geolocation accuracy of the spectrometer payload and began to conduct an analysis of soil health content using Argus spectral data. A field campaign is used to obtain data to assess geolocation accuracy using coastline crossing detection and to obtain airborne bare soil spectra in ground truth form. The payload system used for the field campaign consists of an Argus spectrometer, optical camera, GPS, and attitude sensors, integrated into a low-cost, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), which will be presented along with the experimental procedure and field campaign results.

N extreme climatic conditions and the unsatisfied state of agricultural land fertility in the Selenga Region, a decline in the production of crop and livestock products is observed. It should be noted that the production volumes of farms comprise agricultural production in the structure of production. district products - 25.2%. In such circumstances, the main factor in the development of the region’s economy and increasing soil fertility should be the organization of the rational use and protection of the land of peasant farms, main agricultural producers in the region.

Abstract UAV technology is used in various fields, namely the military, to strengthen defence, surveillance, dropping logistics. In addition, UAV applications are also used in agriculture. In this study, a fixed-wing UAV will be developed as a monitoring, mapping and dropping process. Several things were carried out in the development process, namely design, manufacturing, installing electronic components, and test flights. The results showed that the vehicle could carry out the mission well. The monitoring process is carried out to review land security. Besides that, it can monitor if there is a fire in agricultural land. In the mapping process, photo data processing taken in the context of the mapping is carried out into an orthophoto map. Meanwhile, in the dropping stage, the aircraft managed to drop a payload weighing 0.5 kg with a distance of 20m from a predetermined centre point. The dropped payload is also equipped with a parachute for increased safety and reduced speed when the payload is dropped.
