Abstract:
Smart agriculture, refers application of various technologies in the agricultural industry, which includes intelligent monitoring of farms and gardens, greenhouses, and the use of robots. spray experiments design were performed with three factors: spray volume, flight height and flight speed and three levels by Drone T20 in a Maize field. For the density of droplet deposition of 20 liters per hectare of spray volume, 3 meters of it was optimal. The upper layer of flight height and flight speed of 4 m/s was used for it. It was like this for the middle and lower layers, using 20 liters per hectare of spray volume, 2 meters flight height and 4 meters per second flight speed. For uniform droplet deposition, the optimal time for the upper layer was found using 20 liters per hectare spray volume, 4 meters flight height and 4 meters per second flight speed and 20 liters per hectare spraying volume, 3 meters flight height and 4 meters per second flight speed for the middle layer, and 12 liters per hectare of spray volume, 3 m flight height and 5 m/s flight speed for the bottom layer was suitable for infiltration of sediment droplets, using 12. L/Ha spray volume, 4 m flight height and 4 m/s flight speed under the comprehensive investigation of the density, uniformity and penetration of droplet deposits, the optimal spraying parameters were 20 liters per hectare. The volume, flight height 3 m and flight speed 4 m/s .
