21st century agriculture is incorporating new technologies to meet the challenges ahead.<\/p>

The use of drones enables precision monitoring and management of plantations as well as management decisions from sowing to harvesting.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Agriculture is the basic and fundamental pillar of human nutrition and of Civilization itself. It is also an irreplaceable source of raw materials, both present and future (Bioenergy).<\/p>

<\/p>

\u2018At least once in a lifetime we will need a lawyer, a doctor or an architect, but three times a day throughout our whole lives we need a Farmer\u2019.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It is thus clear that the challenges of Agriculture for the next century are, in fact, the fundamental challenges that Humanity must face in order to ensure its own future and viability.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The FAO identifies as the main challenges the growth of the world population, the shortage in the availability of labour and arable land, and the fulfilment of environmental requirements for sustainability and food security.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

All of which leads agriculture to adopt more efficient and sustainable production methods, including the latest available robotization technologies such as the use of drones.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Technology has advanced in the last few years, and nowadays there is equipment capable of lifting a greater load, with elements that provide a great versatility of uses (hyperspectral cameras, spraying systems for liquid chemical products and the application of solid products, etc.).<\/p>

<\/p>

On the other hand, the new generations of batteries also offer greater autonomy, allowing the monitoring of large areas with a single flight plan.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Drones, due to their flexibility, capacity and affordable price, have become the most popular aerial platform and the one most widely used in technified farms.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Drones allow continuous monitoring of the crop by capturing images throughout its development. Data analysis, through integrated management systems, allows management decisions to be made from sowing to harvesting.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Early detection of anomalies allows early reaction and appropriate measures to be taken in the right time.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The analysis of seasonal data allows the measurement of spatial and temporal variability both within the plot and between plots of the same plantation.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

All this information allows plantations to establish differentiated management areas based on knowledge of the crop itself, its rotations, soil type, yield data and irrigation management, allowing the reduction of production costs and the optimization of inputs such as fertilizers and phytosanitary products.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
