Agriculture Drone Services Support Precision Agriculture.
In agriculture, growers must cut costs while maximizing the land’s economic production. Elements like weather patterns and land movement can present a major challenge, especially over hundreds or thousands of acres of land with different ecologies, assets, and environmental obstacles.
Agriculture drone services help growers apply Precision Agriculture techniques for better crop and livestock management. Drones provide farming photography and video data, covering large land areas quickly to pinpoint where actions are needed. Drones deliver real-time feedback on soil, plant, moisture, and topography to maximize yield, avoid waste, and increase the bottom line.
Farming.
Aerial drone photography services help farmers stay agile in their land management responsibilities. Drone video and photos are extremely effective for scouting land and crop features quickly, leading to smarter resource decisions that cut costs and increase production.
With agriculture drone services, growers can:
- Increase crop yields by monitoring multiple issues affecting plant health and growth.
- Quickly find and address crop disease, infestation, or poor irrigation not seen in ground-level checks. Analysis tools such as normalized differential vegetation indexing (NDVI) help you zero in, compare, and adjust conditions to maximize yield.
- Leverage topographical, thermal, and spectral mapping to monitor and assess crop health faster with more precision over large land areas.
- Perform soil & field analysis to assess moisture and fertility levels, identifying irrigation and nitrogen management actions needed to reduce waste.
- Plant more efficiently by gathering visual data that maps the terrain and collects information about the topography and soil.
- Manage irrigation with a comprehensive and accurate lay of the land. Aerial photography makes it easy to identify slopes and drainage, and drones with thermal cameras can detect both dry and wet ground, allowing farmers to adjust irrigation as needed.

Plant Health Monitoring.
Plant stress level = 10% of field for a total of 2.31 hectare. Plant stress can be caused by multiple factors such as lack of water or unbalanced nitrate levels.
Recommended actions:
- Increase fertilizer levels
- Increase water frequency

Spraying.
Combined with mapping, drone sprayers can be utilized to target specific areas where treatment of fertilizer and soil ameliorants is necessary, reducing disease and increasing efficiency both in processes and revegetation outcomes. The combination of speed and power means that areas are able to be treated up to 40 times faster than manual spraying operations.
Intelligent flight control allows the drone to scan the area below, providing real-time data, and adjust to keep a constant and accurate height above vegetation. Spray density is maintained even as the substrate below rises and falls, so that the optimal amount of fertilizer and soil ameliorants are applied at all times.
Each spray nozzle is placed directly below a motor, ensuring that the downward airflow generated by the octocopters propellers accelerates the spray, increasing its reach. Fitted with intelligent memory, the drone records its current position, remembering its past coordinates so that flight can easily be resumed after refilling or battery changes.
