Abstract

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) play an important role in precision agriculture (PA). UAVs can achieve efficient plant protection operations by carrying advanced sensors for real-time monitoring and pesticide spraying of maize crops. This paper aims to summarize recent research progress on UAVs in corn crop protection across various agricultural processes, to identify potential applications of biomimetic technology and to propose ideas for the future application of UAVs in corn crop protection. First, protection strategies for maize crops at different growth stages are explored. Agricultural applications of UAVs in maize crop protection are subsequently investigated, demonstrating their significant advantages. UAVs can facilitate efficient crop monitoring, including nutrient assessment, health assessment, disease detection, weed control, and yield estimation, providing accurate agricultural management information. Moreover, UAVs have performed well in terms of crop spraying, thereby achieving precise pest control, fertilization, and pollination, and increasing operational efficiency and crop yield. However, seeding and pollination should be investigated further. In addition, the application of biomimetic technology in crop protection UAVs is described, including drone designs, applications of biomimetic sensors and artificial intelligence technology, which can increase the monitoring accuracy, operational accuracy, and intelligence level of UAVs. Finally, future development trends in crop protection UAVs are outlined, and associated challenges are analysed.
无人机技术在玉米作物保护策略中的应用综述
无人机(uav)在精准农业(PA)中发挥着重要作用。无人机可以通过携带先进的传感器对玉米作物进行实时监测和农药喷洒,实现高效的植保作业。本文旨在总结近年来无人机在玉米作物保护中的研究进展,确定仿生技术在玉米作物保护中的潜在应用,并对未来无人机在玉米作物保护中的应用提出设想。首先,探讨了玉米作物不同生育期的保护策略。随后对无人机在玉米作物保护中的农业应用进行了研究,证明了其显著的优势。无人机可以促进有效的作物监测,包括养分评估、健康评估、疾病检测、杂草控制和产量估计,提供准确的农业管理信息。此外,无人机在作物喷洒方面表现良好,从而实现了精确的害虫控制,施肥和授粉,提高了操作效率和作物产量。然而,播种和授粉还有待进一步研究。此外,介绍了仿生技术在作物保护无人机中的应用,包括无人机设计、仿生传感器和人工智能技术的应用,可以提高无人机的监测精度、操作精度和智能水平。最后,概述了作物保护无人机的未来发展趋势,并分析了相关挑战。

期刊介绍: Computers and Electronics in Agriculture provides international coverage of advancements in computer hardware, software, electronic instrumentation, and control systems applied to agricultural challenges. Encompassing agronomy, horticulture, forestry, aquaculture, and animal farming, the journal publishes original papers, reviews, and applications notes. It explores the use of computers and electronics in plant or animal agricultural production, covering topics like agricultural soils, water, pests, controlled environments, and waste. The scope extends to on-farm post-harvest operations and relevant technologies, including artificial intelligence, sensors, machine vision, robotics, networking, and simulation modeling. Its companion journal, Smart Agricultural Technology, continues the focus on smart applications in production agriculture.
