| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Drones are effective for monitoring crop conditions because they can efficiently and precisely measure large areas. However, in greenhouse environments, obstacles such as wires and unstable GNSS reception cause a risk of drone flight. On the other hand, utilizing the wind pressure generated by drone flight can support detailed crop measurements and cultivation management tasks such as pollination. This is particularly beneficial in strawberry cultivation, where new leaves, crucial for assessing crop growth, are often hidden within the canopy. By using drone-generated wind pressure to measure these new leaves, we can achieve high-precision yield predictions and growth diagnostics.Therefore, this study examines the implementation of tethered drones that can safely navigate controlled environments and investigates solutions for using drone wind pressure to measure new leaves and the undersides of leaves within the crop canopy.
