Maximise Growing Yields Through Precision
Greater Resource Allocation and Environmental Management
Identify and Manage Plant Pest and Disease
Much like agriculture, by identifying the negative factors on your orchard or vineyard i.e. pest and disease, nutrient deficiencies, water deficiencies, sun shading etc, we can work out a feasible resource allocation plan to increase the production and economic efficiency of your orchard or vineyard. Gain insightful, timely information to achieve better fruit and grape yields, without excessive resource inputs.
Key Services
Aerial Mapping and Orthomosiacs
Provide your orchard or vineyard with high quality, up to date mapping and increase the value and accuracy of your land whether it’s for sale, regional council purposes, or personal use and identification . E.g. land boundaries, land titles, paddock mapping, dam or pond imagery, asset imagery, hazard identification etc.
3D and Topography
Identify the true nature of your land using our 3D modelling and topography service. Once assessed we can use this information to create run-off assessments, erosion models, and nutrient assessments. This information can help aid your case when applying for council resource consents, as well as work towards a more environmentally sound and resource efficient orchard of vineyard. Finding out the definitive contouring of your land can be vital for land valuation and development.
Multi-Spectral and RGB’s
Parasite and Fungi Mapping
Identify pests, weeds, disease, and insect infection within your fruit, grapes , and pasture, so you can target sole areas of infection immediately and efficiently. Initiate an eradication plan to target specific areas of as oppose to guess working your pest control plan.
Yield and Development Assessments
Use our infrared scouting programme to determine and compare how your fruit or grapes have developed from the time of nursery, to harvest. Crop scouting can become a fundamental tool to add to your management programme for direct yearly comparison or pre and post yield assessments.
Variable Rate Prescriptions
Once we analyse your aerial data, we can determine a new rate of which to apply your pesticides, fertiliser, and water resources. The outcome? Less resources applied, reduced environmental impact, greater economic savings, and increased production. A prescription plan can be merged with your machine software i.e. sprays, so you can apply your resources to the designated prescription plan immediately.
Plant Health Measurements
Using NDVI imagery we can draw attention to the areas of poor plant biomass, soil deficiencies, or areas that need attention to increase plant health.
