Weed detection by drone
Hi everyone, first off, I want to say that I have no background in agriculture. I’ve been in the drone business for several years and am thinking about expanding my business to work with farmers. I’ve been interested in this before, but now I’ve discovered software that specializes exclusively in weed detection and creating spray maps for sprayers. It offers huge savings on herbicides, and I’m really intrigued by it. From what I’ve found out, most farmers still spray across the entire field.
So I’d like to ask: from a commercial standpoint, how much potential does this comprehensive service have (scanning the field and generating a spray map for weed control)?
