The future of crop monitoring is here! In a recent study conducted by researchers from Iowa State University, the use of drones to monitor crop health is becoming an increasingly popular way to assess the severity of crop damage.

This data can then be used to make informed decisions about how to best manage and protect their crops. The study demonstrated a high degree of accuracy in assessing the severity of crop damage, with the drones able to detect damage caused by diseases, weeds, and even insects.
