The use of drone technology combined with deep learning is revolutionising the way plant diseases are detected and assessed in agriculture. Drones, equipped with high-resolution cameras and advanced imaging sensors, enable rapid and extensive monitoring of crop fields, capturing crucial visual and multispectral data from above. Deep learning models then analyse this information to accurately and swiftly identify early disease symptoms, even across vast and varied terrains. This synergy significantly reduces the need for manual field inspection, supports precise disease mapping, and enables timely, data-driven interventions. Integrating AI-powered systems with drones is also vital in regions with limited access to expert plant pathologists, democratizing disease management tools for all scales of farming. Ultimately, this integration enhances crop health monitoring efficiency, supports sustainable and productive farming practices and resilience in agricultural systems by empowering farmers with actionable intelligence for better disease management.
