Devices, such as mobile sensors and static sensors, monitor field health. A comparison to a baseline may facilitate detection of a field health issue. When an issue with field health is determined, a remedy may be deployed. Deploying a remedy may use an unmanned vehicle, such as an unmanned aerial vehicle, or a liquid distribution manifold.

Disclosed herein is an apparatus. An embodiment of the apparatus can include a turbine aerosol generator which comprises an aerosol generator. The aerosol generator can comprise a solution tank assembly to transport an aerosol solution for vaporization. The aerosol generator includes a motor device configured to vaporize the aerosol solution and expel the aerosol solution. Aerosol generator can also comprise an engine control unit in electrical communication with the motor device. The aerosol generator includes a transmitter assembly to communicate with other components. The apparatus can also include an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The UAV can comprise a vehicle body that couples to the aerosol generator. The UAV comprises a power unit that provides flight and a vehicle computer. The apparatus further comprises a remote control device to communicate with other components. The apparatus also comprises a landing platform for fueling and/or recharge of the UAV and aerosol generator.

A disbursement system for a UAV is provided. The disbursement system may include a plurality of disbursement nozzles operable to dispense an agricultural product at variable flowrates, a flow controller responsive to instructions and operable to regulate a volume of the agricultural product dispensed by the disbursement nozzles, and a control system. The control system may include a plurality of sensors operable to monitor a plurality of flight parameters and a processing unit configured to model an effect of the plurality of flight parameters on first flow control instructions corresponding to a prescription coverage of the agricultural product and calculate and output modulated flow control instructions to the flow controller. The control system may modulate the first control instructions to change a flowrate of one or more of the plurality of disbursement nozzles to achieve an actual coverage of the agricultural product that is closer to the prescription coverage.

Disclosed are a pesticide spraying control method, a device, and a storage medium. The method includes: planning, by a controller, a spraying route matching an area to be sprayed, and mapping the spraying route to a crop prescription map matching the area to be sprayed; and determining, by the controller, a spraying control point in the spraying route and a spraying amount matching the spraying control point based on crop state information in at least two areas included in the crop prescription map. The spraying control point is associated with an actual spraying point of an operation unmanned aerial vehicle. The actual spraying point is spaced from the spraying control point associated with the actual spraying point by a set distance on the spraying route and is located before the spraying control point associated with the actual spraying point in a forward direction of the operation unmanned aerial vehicle.
