A project by South Dakota State University engineering students to design drone modules that help agronomists and farmers understand their farmland throughout the year. One module samples soil by flying autonomously and probing the soil to understand nutrient profiles. The other module samples leaf tissue from corn plants for lab analysis. The technology aims to enable precise application of ferti

Description
Description | A project by South Dakota State University engineering students to design drone modules that help agronomists and farmers understand their farmland throughout the year. One module samples soil by flying autonomously and probing the soil to understand nutrient profiles. The other module samples leaf tissue from corn plants for lab analysis. The technology aims to enable precise application of fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides, improving precision agriculture practices. |
