Precision Agriculture from Above

We recommend NDVI mapping at least 3-4 times per growing season: early season (emergence check), mid-season (peak vegetative growth), and late season (pre-harvest assessment). Some operations schedule monthly flights for critical monitoring periods.

Early morning (sunrise to 10am) or late afternoon (after 4pm) provides optimal lighting conditions for accurate NDVI readings. Midday sun can create glare and shadows that affect data quality. We also fly during overcast conditions for consistent lighting.

We provide you with easy-to-use prescription maps that can be uploaded directly to your equipment's precision agriculture system. These variable rate application maps help you apply water, fertilizer, and pesticides only where needed, saving money and reducing environmental impact.

Standard NDVI maps are provided at 5-10cm resolution, giving you highly detailed field analysis. For large operations, we offer both high-resolution (detailed field analysis) and low-resolution (whole-farm overview) options. Enterprise clients can request custom resolution specifications.
