路易斯安那州的农民使用无人机和AI提高甘蔗和稻米产量, Louisiana farmers use drones and AI to boost sugarcane and rice yields, despite cost and connectivity challenges.

路易斯安那州农民正在使用无人机和人工智能来提高甘蔗和稻米产量,从而能够进行精确监测、有针对性地施肥和施用成熟剂,并改进收割时间。 Louisiana farmers are using drones and artificial intelligence to boost sugarcane and rice yields, enabling precise monitoring, targeted fertilizer and ripener application, and improved harvest timing. LSU AgCenter的AI动力系统等工具分析空中和卫星数据,以预测产量和优化投入,使每吨糖平均增加30磅,并节省成本。 Tools like AI-powered systems from LSU AgCenter analyze aerial and satellite data to predict yields and optimize inputs, contributing to an average 30-pound sugar increase per ton and cost savings. 水稻农也在采用节水技术,如替代湿润和干燥技术。 Rice farmers are also adopting water-saving techniques like alternate wetting and drying. 尽管有益处,但费用高、农村宽带有限和数据所有权问题使采用速度放慢。 Despite benefits, adoption is slowed by high costs, limited rural broadband, and data ownership concerns. 为了支持增长,亚历山大大学的LSU正在培训学生成为领有执照的无人机飞行员。 To support growth, LSU of Alexandria is training students as licensed drone pilots.
