<![CDATA[The manual and time-consuming nature of current agronomic technology monitoring of fertilizer and irrigation requirements, the possibility of overusing fertilizer and water, the size of cassava plantations, and the scarcity of human resources are among its drawbacks. Efforts to increase the yield of cassava plants > 40 tons per ha include monitoring fertilization approach or treatment, as well as water stress or drought using UAVs and deep learning. The novel aspect of this research is the creation of a monitoring model for the irrigation and fertilizer to support sustainable cassava production. This study emphasizes the use of Unnamed Aerial Vehicle (UAV) imagery for evaluating the irrigation and fertilization status of cassava crops. The UAV is processed by building an orthomosaic, labeling, extracting features, and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) modeling. The outcomes are then analyzed to determine the requirements for air pressure and fertilization. Important new information on the application of UAV technology, multispectral imaging, thermal imaging, among the vegetation indices are the Soil-Adjusted Vegetation Index (SAVI), Leaf Color Index (LCI), Leaf Area Index (LAI), Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI), Normalized Difference Red Edge Index (NDRE), and Green Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (GNDVI).]]>
