UAV systems for parameter identification in agriculture

Agriculture has changed from an art to a precision science using high yielding and disease resistant genetically modified (GMO*) crop. Though GMO crops provide high yields they are very sensitive to other factors like timely irrigation, nutrient constitution of the soil etc. So it is important that these parameters are periodically monitored to ensure their proper yield. It is easy to monitor these parameters in a small field of an acre or less but it becomes almost next to impossible to consistently monitor them in large holdings of land. UAVs provide a fast and efficient method of analyzing field conditions in large land holdings.
