Soil monitoring is a major application of yield monitoring, which helps to identify different soil parameters to maintain the nutrient level of the soil.

The market for drones/unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is expected to grow at a significant rate between 2017 and 2022. The increasing adoption of drones by farmers, owing to their ease of use and affordability, is the major reason behind the high growth of this market. Moreover, several smart agriculture service providers are offering drones as part of their services, thereby driving the growth of the smart agriculture market for drones/UAVs.
