Precision Agriculture and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)

Abstract

This chapter examines the correlation between precision agriculture (PA) and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), emphasizing their pivotal significance in contemporary agricultural practices. This chapter delves into the historical origins of public administration (PA), tracing its progress over time and examining the introduction of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) within this field. The text provides a study of different types of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), examining their distinct qualities, advantages, and diverse range of applications. These applications encompass crop monitoring, soil analysis, irrigation management, and livestock tracking. The chapter also discusses many challenges, including regulatory compliance, data security, and technical limits. Additionally, the chapter emphasizes the practical implementation of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in both extensive and small-scale agricultural practices, as well as potential advancements and emerging patterns in this field.
