The use of UAV technology for weed detection and management in cauliflower cultivation
Author(s): Maria Prieto
Abstract: This review explores the application of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) technology for detecting and managing weeds in cauliflower cultivation. Given the significant impact of weeds on crop yield and quality, traditional weed control methods are often labor-intensive and environmentally damaging. UAV technology offers a promising alternative by enabling high-resolution, rapid, and precise weed detection over large areas. This paper synthesizes existing research on UAV capabilities, specifically focusing on RGB cameras, multispectral imaging, and thermal imaging sensors, and evaluates their effectiveness in the context of cauliflower fields. We discuss the advantages of UAVs, such as enhanced accuracy and reduced labor costs, alongside challenges including technical limitations, regulatory hurdles, and high initial investment costs. Future research directions are proposed to address these challenges and optimize UAV technology for agricultural applications. The review aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of UAV technology as a sustainable and efficient solution for weed management in cauliflower cultivation, highlighting its potential benefits and barriers to adoption.
