Drones for Agriculture

For generations farmers have walked their fields inspecting crops manually for signs of stress, disease, and vigor. Irrigation management, crop inspection, spraying of pesticides, all use traditional labor intensive methods, which are time consuming, and can be difficult as crop canopies thicken. Using Drone technology, farmers can now evaluate their crops at scale, while simultaneously creating vegetation maps that help them manage their crops - and their time - better.

CAPTURE BREATHTAKING VIDEO AND IMAGES

Aerial-based thermal imaging has also become an important tool for agricultural management. It is a non-invasive way to monitor crops, nurseries and greenhouses and even detect plant disease.

Aerial assessments and data gathering within the farming sector provides key information such as:

Plant Vigor
Plant Stress
Plant Counts

Field Uniformity
Plant Height
Other Variables

This information can be used to predict the need for fertilizer inputs, irrigation modifications, peak harvest, overall crop health, and ultimate, crop yield/value. Industrial farmers can now leverage these technologies, since they allow for better business decisions relating to agricultural issues.

PLANT VIGOR ASSESSMENT AND IDENTIFICATION

Our vigor assessment isolates areas where vegetation is lacking, or experiencing some form of stress. Using this imagery, growers can identify areas requiring immediate action and create a treatment plan, resulting in reduced application costs and increased yields.
