FLYING OBJECT FOR SUPPORTING AGRICULTURAL WORK AND AGRICULTURAL WORK SUPPORT SYSTEM

摘要

To provide a flying object capable of promoting the growth of crops and an agricultural work support system using the same.SOLUTION: A flying object for supporting agricultural work includes a distance measurement unit that measures a distance to a crop grown in an agricultural field, a flight adjustment unit that controls a drive unit to fly a predetermined distance above the crop on the basis of a result of the measurement performed by the distance measurement unit, and a growth degree measurement unit that measures a degree of growth of the crop. The flying object further includes a map creating unit that creates a growth degree map of a crop in an agricultural field on the basis of a result of the measurement performed by the growth degree measurement unit. In addition, the agricultural work support system transmits the result of the measurement performed by the growth degree measurement unit to a management center, and creates a growth degree map of a crop in an agricultural field at the management center. The agricultural work support system includes a fertilizer application unit that applies a larger amount of fertilizers for an area where the growth degree is lower, on the basis of the growth degree map.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 7
