Agriculture evolves from day to day, so that, among the traditional crops, whole fields of lavender have appeared. Apart from its decorative uses, lavender has many other uses, both in the cosmetic and food industries. Lavender growing can become a profitable business for farmers, entrepreneurs and gardeners alike. Lavender is often grown for the benefits of the products it produces. Lavender is a perennial plant that is rarely attacked by pests. As it is considered a niche business, lavender is often grown on small areas. Analysis of the state of vegetation and condition of agricultural crops is done using multispectral drone cameras. These combine data from several separate sensors, so that it is possible to quickly analyse the evolution of the plants, the presence of weeds and insects, the lack of water, etc. In this article we will highlight the impact of using a drone analysis for the purpose of monitoring the state of vegetation as well as the opportunities in finding solutions to control pests and other factors on a field cultivated with lavender in Campia Romana.
