The aftermath of the pest attack brings a huge loss to the farmers. Various pest detection methods were followed for many years and there is a need for proper implementation which leads to reduced loss and thus increased profit to the farmer. The pests are underneath the leaves, so they require various stages of detection. Early-stage identification of the pest decreases the losses and usage of pesticides. Tremendous uses of pesticides impinge soil fertility and eutrophication. Precision farming methods and techniques must be implemented. Thermal imaging gives the infrared radiation intensity of the objects. The movement of the pest can be identified through it. Drones are used to take wide ranges of images. These images are analyzed and identify the pest intensity. A proper spraying mechanism should be implemented on the land such that it sprays a required amount of pesticide to the plant. The pesticide should be sprayed at the pest area of the plant. Healthy plants are not sprayed with pesticides. Accurate measures of the number of pesticides are sprayed with the help of proper control mechanisms provided by drones; thermal imaging and ground robot-controlled spraying.
