The researchers combined UAV data with ground-based sensors and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to create a multi-source data fusion model. This approach captures both the vertical and horizontal variability of soil nutrients, ensuring accuracy in monitoring and mapping nutrient levels across different zones within a field. Such precision enables farmers to understand exactly where and how much fertilizer is needed, reducing waste and improving productivity.
