Abstract

Drones are aircrafts that are sent by a pilot on the ground to perform a task with a remote control or that are automatically flown by loading a previously made flight program. This technology has wide scope in various fields such as disease and pest detection, water stress detection, yield / maturity estimation, weed flora detection, water resources control and monitoring of workers. It saves operating time, water consumption and pesticide use in agriculture.
