Monitoring of pests and diseases of rice using drones with multispectral cameras was carried out by the Research Team of the Faculty of Agricultural Technology, Udayana University in Subak Cemagi Let Mengwi on Sunday (20/2/2022). The team led by Prof. Ir. I Made Anom Sutrisna Wijaya, M.App.Sc., Ph.D conducted research on the development of methods for assessing rice pests and diseases in Bali. The results are expected to help farmers in facilitating their work in the field.

 

Drone technology is an example of implementing remote sensing techniques that are useful for monitoring large rice fields. Drones make it easier for farmers to monitor and care for their fields, such as controlling rice pests and diseases.

 

This activity is the implementation of the SATREPS (Science and Technology Research Partnership) project in developing methods for assessing rice pests and diseases, which are funded by the Government of Japan through the JICA (Japan International Operation Agency) program. The SATREPS project implementation team consists of Chiba University, IPB University, Udayana University (Faculty of Agricultural Technology and Faculty of Agriculture), West Java Agriculture Service and Badung Regency Agriculture and Food Service.
