Drone in Crop Health Analysis in Agriculture Sector

CROP HEALTH ANALYSIS Using Drone

Aeromat provides agricultural intelligence using drone-enabled technologies that are developed exclusively for agriculture. Within 24 hours, it is possible to identify areas that require attention and take appropriate action.

We combine the most current mapping software with the most accurate imaging technologies using custom cameras and filters to create a platform designed specifically for a farmer’s needs.

Our team creates a Normalized Difference Vegetation Index image (also called NDVI), which indicates the relative stress levels of vegetation throughout your field.

Scouting/Monitoring Plant Health

One of the uses for drone imagery that has already been rolled out with great success is for monitoring plant health. Drones equipped with special imaging equipment called Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) use detailed colour information to indicate plant health. This allows farmers to monitor crops as they grow so any problems can be dealt with fast enough to save the plants. This image illustrates simply how NDVI works.

How drone useful for CROP HEALTH ANALYSIS

Monitoring Field Conditions

Drone field monitoring is also being used to monitor the health of soil and field conditions. Drones can provide accurate field mapping including elevation information that allow growers to find any irregularities in the field.

Planting & Seeding

One of the newer and less wide spread uses of drones in agriculture is for planting seeds. Automated drone seeders are mostly being used in forestry industries right now, but the potential for more widespread use is on the horizon.

Security

Drone security is a fast growing industry apart from agriculture but is also extremely useful to farm management. Using drones to monitor the far reaches of a farm without having to get there saves valuable time and allows for more frequent monitoring of hard to reach areas.
