Mill Waste Damages Crop

Last year mill waste-composted material was dumped and

the natural occurring acid leached out damaging the crop.

Almonds Orchards – Pre-Bud Break

Almond Orchards – Zoomed In

Moisture pockets that have ground fungal growth

Almond Orchards

Pre-Bud Break

Nuts showing no growth, soil-moisture levels

Young Almond Orchard

Early bud break and leaf out.

Blue indicates moisture variations in the soil.

Green hues indicate leaf out.

Winter Wheat NDVI Image Map • Color patterning is consistent

across field indicating even growth and health pattern.

• Yellow along right boarder is

most likely due to lighting conditions and light upper level fog during flight. Would recommend field inspection to confirm.

• Top left red coloring indicates missing crop which was confirmed via aerial imagery.

• Yellow highlighted within the triangle shows an area of die off that looks to have been sprayed.

• Blue spot at far East edge of image indicates pooling water.

Practical and Actionable data

Tablet-based Mission Planning Fly During Winter

Flying during the winter months can deliver

significant data. You can learn where water, snow

and ice are building up. Ice and snow absorb NIR

so they show up green or white and the dormant

rye grass shows up red in this image. Late winter

flights can tell you when perennials are beginning

to grow again.

Figure 1: NDVI zone map of an Alfalfa field. Stressed areas were identified using aerial imagery from the AgDrone™ System.

See 100% of the field versus 10 to 15%

Figure 2: NDVI imagery used to show growth difference one month later. Image on the left was a March flight, while the image on the right is the same field in April.

NDVI Color Legend

Tablet-based Mission Planning The Dollars Of It

• Spray 25% to 50% less •Chemical costs drop • Labor & Fuel costs drop •Yields increase

Healthier Crops - Yield Improvement

Identify Stress, Irrigation Problems, Damage & More… Scouting on foot is slow and covers limited ground

Figure 2: NDVI aerial image of a wheat field. Our system was able to detect the presence of a wireworm problem in the field.

Figure 3: Visible imagery used to check sprinkler line for adequate performance. The entire line was imaged during the flight.

Figure 4: A farmer used this imagery to get an estimated count of his squash in this particular field.

Market Scope & Impact Exporting UAS Data

This is what the data viewer looks like.

Our data files will work with your system.

We do not use a proprietary file formats.

Data goes into your variable rate systems.

Flight Data: weather, field size, flight time

Exports to Georeferenced files

TIFF, JPEG, SHP, KMZ…

Market Scope & Impact AgDrone™ Data and Variable Rate Equipment
