Researchers analyze the use of drones applied to agriculture at Cebas-CSIC

Researchers from Spain, Italy, and Portugal are analyzing since this Wednesday in Murcia the use of cameras, drones, and high-precision sensors applied to agriculture to improve food production and mitigate the effects of climate change, the Center of Edaphology and Biology of the Segura has reported. The scientific-technical meeting “Resilient Agriculture in a Warming World: Tools from Remote Sensing and Crop Physiology (RAWSENSE)”, organized by Cebas-CSIC, is being held today and tomorrow at the headquarters of the Murcia center. The meeting focuses on new remote sensing and plant physiology technologies, with special attention to the use of unmanned aerial vehicles equipped with multispectral and hyperspectral cameras to assess the state of crops. These tools allow for optimizing irrigation, reducing fertilizers, and increasing the efficiency of agro-ecological systems in a context of climate change. The event, funded by the Seneca Foundation and Miteco through the Biodiversity ...
