DYNAMIC MONITORING OF NDVI IN AGRONOMIC TESTING OF AGRO CROPS USING AN UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE

Abstract

The annually growing population of the planet requires the introduction of high technologies in agriculture to increase the yield. One of the promising areas is the use of unmanned aerial vehicles with specialized payloads and specialized software that can be used to solve various problems, such as creating electronic field maps, inventorying farmland, treating crops with pesticides to combat harmful pests, real-time monitoring of the condition of crops, assessment of the germination of agricultural crops, protection of farmland, etc. Dynamic monitoring of NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) in agronomic tests of crops is an important tool for improving the quality and efficiency of agricultural production. This paper discusses the use of drones for NDVI monitoring in crops such as corn, wheat and barley. The NDVI monitoring technique identifies areas of high and low vegetation density, which can be used to optimize fertilizer and water use and to prevent weed growth. The data obtained can be used to make important decisions in the field of agriculture and increase yields.
