About
Lucas Costa is at the forefront of precision agriculture, where he integrates unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) multispectral imaging with artificial intelligence to revolutionize nutrient management. His most-cited work, presented at the ISHS XXXI International Horticultural Congress, demonstrates how high-resolution aerial data and machine learning can optimize fertilizer application, reducing waste while boosting crop yields. This research, already garnering early citations, lays the groundwork for a new era of data-driven horticulture—moving from blanket treatments to site-specific, real-time interventions. Costa’s contributions are particularly impactful for field environments, where variable soil and crop conditions demand adaptive solutions. By bridging remote sensing and AI, he is enabling farmers to make smarter, more sustainable decisions. His work not only advances precision horticulture but also addresses global challenges in food security and environmental stewardship. For students and researchers, Costa’s approach exemplifies how emerging technologies can transform traditional farming into a high-tech, efficient, and ecologically responsible practice.
