Drones are now being programmed to help with agriculture.
Researchers at the Idaho State University have programmed drones to be able to identify potatoes that are infected with a virus.
The Capital Press reports that cameras mounted to the drones have a 90 percent accuracy of finding plants infected with the potato virus Y or PVY.
This technology will eventually enable drones GPS coordinates of sick plants to field workers or direct drones to spray and kill sick plants upon detection.
