Crop monitoring
Crop monitoring refers to the systematic observation and assessment of agricultural crops to ensure they are healthy and thriving. This process involves checking for factors like growth, pest infestations, diseases, and environmental conditions such as soil moisture and weather patterns. Farmers use various tools, including satellite imagery, drones, and soil sensors, to collect data and make informed decisions about irrigation, fertilization, and pest control. Effective crop monitoring helps increase yield, reduces waste, and promotes sustainable farming practices, ultimately contributing to food security and efficient resource use.
