CURRENT STATUS AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS OF PRECISION AGRICULTURE FOR AERIAL APPLICATIONS IN THE USA

摘要：

Precision aerial application in the USA is less than a decade old since the development of the first variable-rate aerial application system. Many areas of the United States rely on readily available agricultural airplanes or helicopters for pest management. Variable-rate aerial application provides a solution for applying field inputs such as cotton growth regulators, defoliants, and insecticides. Prescription maps for aerial application have been developed using remote sensing and GPS/GIS technologies. Precision agriculture technology has the potential to benefit agricultural aviation industry by saving operators and farmers time and money.
