Agricultural drone

An agricultural drone is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) used in agriculture operations, mostly in yield optimization by monitoring crop growth, aerial seeding and crop protection. Agricultural drones provide information on crop growth stages, crop health, and soil variations. Multispectral sensors are used on agricultural drones to image electromagnetic radiation beyond the visible spectrum, including near-infrared and short-wave infrared.

Agricultural UAVs are often fitted with spray equipment for pesticide application.
