| Descripción: | Digital agriculture is the evolution of precision agriculture. Among the most important technological advances in agriculture, autopilot tractors allow the most efficient use of resources. Therefore, the project aims to validate the efficiency of sprayer application by comparing two tractor guides, one with Trimble autopilot and the other with an operator’s manual guide, when applying a boron-based compound and plant penetrant. Each guide had three passes, collecting data for later processing to determine the percentage of overlap in each. In addition, the team performed three drone flights to capture multispectral images and observe changes in vegetation before and after applying the compound. Based on this, it was concluded that the tractor passes with operator’s manual guidance have a higher overlap percentage than those obtained using the autopilot guide. Moreover, it was determined that product costs and environmental impact increase significantly when manual operator guidance is used compared to automated guidance. In the vegetation indices, only SAVI showed significant changes, while the EVI and AVI indices should not be used in these cases, since they present data with a high variation and an absence of these. |
