Objectives

Drone aerial mapping has the following objectives:

• Identification of disease areas
• Identification of less fertile and less hydrated areas
• Accuracy of fertilizer spreading and phytosanitary treatments
• Rational management of water resources and inputs
• Counting Shots
• Estimates of potential returns

Methodology

INVESTIV has drones equipped with multi-spectral sensors to quickly identify areas of disease, the least fertile and least hydrated areas on your plot. The objective is to make much more precise spreading of fertilizers and phytosanitary treatments, to manage water resources and to save inputs.

To do this, during the field activity, INVESTIV establishes with the drone a parcel flight plan in order to extract as much data as possible from the state of the parcel. These data are then processed by experts and agricultural engineers to draw up maps.

Steps

• Pre-mission studies
• Organization of the flight plan
• Carrying out the mission in the field
• Data analysis
• Report delivery

Deliverables

The renderings after data analysis are presented as follows:

• An ortho-mosaic map of the parcel
• Soil fertility map
• Water stress assessment
• Map of chlorophyll activity
• Crop density measurement
• Detection of disease zones
• Counting Shots
