Abstract: Method for determining and providing an application scheme for pesticides, comprising the following steps: providing agricultural crop data (S10) comprising information about an agricultural crop species sown or planned to sow in a field; providing application time data (S20) comprising information about at least one planned application time of applying pesticides in the field; providing weed and/or pathogen specifier data (S30) comprising information about at least one weed or pathogen specifier present or expected in the field; performing a database search in a pesticide product database (S50) at least based on the provided agricultural crop data, the provided application time data, the provided weed and/or pathogen specifier data and determining the pesticide products matching the agricultural crop and the application time and one of the weed or pathogen specifiers, wherein the pesticide product database comprises information about a plurality of pesticide products, and wherein the information about the pe

Abstract: The present invention relates to unmanned aerial vehicle for agricultural field assessment. It is described to fly (210) the unmanned aerial vehicle to a location in a field containing a crop. A body of the unmanned aerial vehicle is positioned (220) in a substantially stationary aspect above the crop at the location. A camera of the unmanned aerial vehicle is moved (230) vertically with respect to the body of the unmanned aerial vehicle between a first position and a second position, wherein the first position is closer to the body of the unmanned aerial vehicle than the second position. The camera acquires (240) at least one image relating to the crop when the camera is not in the first position.

Abstract: The present invention relates to unmanned aerial vehicle for agricultural field assessment. It is described to fly (210) an unmanned aerial vehicle to a location in a field containing a crop. A camera is mounted on the unmanned aerial vehicle at a location vertically separated from a body of the unmanned aerial vehicle. The vertical separation between the camera and the body is greater than an average vertical height of plants of a crop in a field to be interrogated by the unmanned aerial vehicle. The body of the unmanned aerial vehicle is positioned (220) in a sub-stantially stationary aspect above the crop at the location such that the camera is at a first posi-tion above the crop. The unmanned aerial vehicle is controlled (230) to fly vertically at the loca-tion such that the camera is at a second position below that of the first position.
