The monitoring of soil nitrogen supply using drone provided images and image processing. Thus, we intend to facilitate the decision farmers make when they come to the question: "How much nitrogen should be applied to a maize crop that will result in the best output?".

There will be three zones that will receive different amounts of nitrogen, namely: N0, N100, N150. Then, the processing and analyzing of the results will use latest technologies available: GIS tools, Python scripting, pixel classification, GPS measurements and a professional drone.
