Current Activities

Using drones equipped with sensors and other imaging technologies, ABE is collaborating with scientists at Yuma and Maricopa Ag Centers to develop simple and near-real time tools to assist farmers  control and manage  field crops.  Integrating cameras and sensors into drones, we capture spectrums of light invisible to the naked eye and measure crop development with higher precision and sub-millimeter resolution.
