Agricultural crop analysis drone

This invention describes a system where a drone flies ahead of a farm vehicle, like a sprayer, to gather information about crops. The drone sends this data in real-time to the vehicle, which then uses it to precisely apply liquids like fertilizer or water. Specifically, the drone identifies individual plants needing more water or nutrients.

Why it matters: Since 2017, cellular network capabilities and real-time AI for on-drone crop analysis have significantly improved. This makes the precise, individual plant treatment described more feasible and efficient.
