CTA supports drone operations in five African countries

The Technical Centre for Agricultural and Rural Cooperation (CTA) has been supporting the establishment of drone operators in Benin, DRC, Ghana, Tanzania and Uganda.
These drone operators are equipped to facilitate advanced crop research using remote-sensed data interpretation services offered by the French company, Airinov.
Among others, their services are tailored to experimental field work by offering very precise and reliable statistics based on drone-sensed imagery.

Flying several times over a season enables agronomists and researchers to have a dynamic view on their trials and take informed decisions or draw conclusions based on reliable data.

Indicators provided include but are not limited to: NDVI, biomass, chlorophyll rate, leaf area index, emergence rate, water stress, missing plants, height or flowering.
