ABSTRACT: A prima vista, un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ potrebbero avere in comune il fatto di essere entrambi blocchi di costruzione, o dipendenze di progetti creativi e software. La realtà è che un mattoncino Lego e il caso della backdoor XZ hanno molto di più di tutto ciò in comune.

5. HOW ARE DRONES BEING USED IN AGRICULTURE ?
Monitoring Plant Health
Drones equipped with special imaging
equipment called Normalized Difference
Vegetation Index (NDVI).
Software analysis can be used to change
values in order to reflect the specific crop
type and even in which stage of life a
specific crop is in.

Monitoring Field Condition
Drones provide accurate field mapping.
Having information on field elevation is
useful in determining drainage patterns and
wet/dry spots which allow for more efficient
watering techniques.

HOW ARE DRONES BEING USED IN AGRICULTURE ?
Planting And Seeding
Automated drone seeders are mostly
being used in forestry industries.
Planting with drones means very hard to
reach areas can be replanted without
endangering workers.
Spray Application
Crop spraying drones can carry large liquid
storage reservoirs, can be operated more
safely.
It can be operated and maintained at a
fraction of the cost compared to crop
dusters.

HOW ARE DRONES BEING USED IN AGRICULTURE ?
Drones are used to monitor the far reaches of
a farm and allows for more frequent
monitoring of hard to reach areas.
Monitoring remote areas, which used to take
hours of walking can now be completed in a
few minutes.
Security Drone Pollination
Researchers in the Netherlands and Japan are
developing small drones that are capable of
pollinating plants without damaging them.
The next step is to create autonomous
pollinating drones that will work and monitor
crop health without constant instruction from
operators.

15. Drone Laws In India
Rules And Regulation
All drones except those in the Nano category must be registered
and issued a Unique Identification Number (UIN).
A permit is required for commercial drone operations
Drone pilots must maintain a direct visual line of sight at all
times while flying.
Drones cannot be flown more than 400 feet vertically.
Drones cannot be flown in areas specified as “No Fly Zones”.
Permission to fly in controlled airspace can be obtained by filing
a flight plan and obtaining a unique Air Defense Clearance
(ADC)/Flight Information Center (FIC) number.

17. CONCLUSION
Drones have already vastly altered the agricultural industry and will
continue to grow in the coming years. While drone use is becoming more
useful to small farmers, there is still a ways to go before they become part
of every farmer’s equipment roster, particularly in developing nations.
Regulations around drone use need to be made and revised in many
countries and more research needs to be done on their effectiveness at
certain tasks. There are many ways drones can be useful to farmers but it is
important to understand their limitations and functions before investing in
expensive equipment.
