Obtaining data on agricultural surfaces by means of high-resolution aerial photography is becoming an increasingly economic solution as it is a safe and quickly realizable method that can be applied even when locations are difficult to access or when the weather is cloudy. Such an approach helps in obtaining top-quality spatial information, reduces the need for field work, enables quicker results and reduces costs. The procedure is quick and does not disturb or interrupt the work processes in cultivated areas.

The data obtained enable farmers to better plan and optimize:

• planting, fertilizing, watering
• pest and disease control
• irrigation, waterways, buffer zones
• livestock migration
• harvest time
• crop rotation, introducing/abandoning cultivation areas
• changes to farming practices

Using the unmanned aircraft technology in agriculture contributes to greater yields, lower costs, reduction of pollution, optimization of cultivation processes and economic efficiency.
