Abstract
Key Points
• Early identification of plant stresses is essential to ensuring maximum crop yield.
• Unmanned aerial survey drones equipped with sensors are increasingly being used by corporate farmers, agronomists, biologists, and environmental
ecologists to make important production decisions.
• Aerial survey tools such as NDVI, thermal and multispectral imagery are now available to farmers and have the potential to boost crop yield and reduce
production costs.
• Researchers have been working to discover ways to make Australian farms more capable of coping with a range of biological and non-biological stresses
using unmanned aerial vehicles or drones.
• In the future automated systems will become a routine part of agricultural production as a tool for promoting productivity and efficiency.
