Abstract

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) represent the technological advance used for precision farming. It provides high-resolution crop images and precise indices are implemented, valuable outputs are generated for farm management decision-making. The current paper review and addresses the different applications of UAVs in agricultural field. This paper provides the brief overview of the current drone technologies for agricultural applications, including crop health monitoring and farm operations. The new regulatory system is also deliberated, and its implications for use in agricultural. Also outlined the potential future directions for technology in agriculture and several instances are provided which are made possible through the use of UAVs in agriculture.

Unmanned aerial vehicles normalized differential vegetation index automation GPS modules and precision agriculture.
