Abstract
Farmers of the twentieth century are adopting the use of leading technical facilities in the field of agriculture to sustain the competitiveness of the global market economy. With the help of modern technology, they are trying to reduce production costs and improve crop yield with better product quality. A new era in which many traditional agricultural practices are replaced by cutting-edge technologies like Precision Farming (PF), which entails applying the agronomic variables in the right place, at the right time, has been ushered in by technological advancements made in monitoring, supervision, management, and control systems. One of the methods that will enable quick and non-destructive analysis of agricultural data will turn out to be an IoT integrated smart agriculture drone. This includes taking pictures to analyze crop behavior, finding out how much water the soil can contain, managing irrigation systems, etc. Numerous engineering disciplines, including aerodynamics, electronics, computer programming, and economics are integrated in the design, development, and implementation of drone-based agricultural systems. In considering ...
