The aim of this work was to compare the results obtained using the RGB image analysis algorithm - 2ARGB®- developed for the calculation of macro minerals, compared to those obtained with the argon plasma induction spectroscopy technique -EIP-. In the test, the content of five macro minerals, calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg) and sulfur (S) was measured in the dry matter of seven species of tropical grasses in three thermal levels in Colombia. To estimate the macro minerals through the algorithm, a Dji Mavic Mini 1 drone with a 2.7 K, HD-RGB camera was used as a remote sensor at a height of 20 m. Images were taken of the same plots that were analyzed with the standard EIP technique from the Agrosavia Tibaitatá laboratory, Colombia. The Wilcoxon median comparison statistical test found no differences between the two methods when determining the percentage concentration of the macro minerals Ca, P, K, Mg and S in the dry matter of the grasses.
