    Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for plant management. It is described to provide (210) a processing unit with at least one image of a field. The processing unit analyses (220) the at least one image to determine information relating to a plant that is present. The processing unit determines (230) if the plant is to be controlled or is not to be controlled by a plant control technology based on the information relating to the plant. An output unit outputs (240) information that is useable to activate at least one plant control technology if the determination is made that the plant is to be controlled by the plant control technology.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to unmanned aerial vehicle for agricultural field assessment. It is described to fly (210) the unmanned aerial vehicle to a location in a field containing a crop. A body of the unmanned aerial vehicle is positioned (220) in a substantially stationary aspect above the crop at the location. A camera of the unmanned aerial vehicle is moved (230) vertically with respect to the body of the unmanned aerial vehicle between a first position and a second position, wherein the first position is closer to the body of the unmanned aerial vehicle than the second position. The camera acquires (240) at least one image relating to the crop when the camera is not in the first position.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to unmanned aerial vehicle for agricultural field assessment. It is described to fly (210) an unmanned aerial vehicle to a location in a field containing a crop. A camera is mounted on the unmanned aerial vehicle at a location vertically separated from a body of the unmanned aerial vehicle. The vertical separation between the camera and the body is greater than an average vertical height of plants of a crop in a field to be interrogated by the unmanned aerial vehicle. The body of the unmanned aerial vehicle is positioned (220) in a sub-stantially stationary aspect above the crop at the location such that the camera is at a first posi-tion above the crop. The unmanned aerial vehicle is controlled (230) to fly vertically at the loca-tion such that the camera is at a second position below that of the first position. The camera acquires (240) at least one image relating to the crop when the camera is between the first position and the second position
