What does an agricultural drone inspection cover?

🌾

Crop health monitoring

Vegetation analysis using multispectral imagery. The NDVI index shows which field areas need intervention — before the problem is visible to the naked eye.

🗺️

Field orthophoto

Precise centimetre-resolution field map with RTK ±2 cm accuracy. Foundation for variable rate fertilization and precision farming.

💧

Irrigation analysis

Identification of zones with excessive moisture or drought using thermal imaging and vegetation indices. Irrigation system optimization.

🌱

Damage assessment

Documentation of damage from hail, drought, flooding or storms. Precise orthophoto with damaged crop area calculation for insurance claims.

🐛

Disease and pest detection

Changes in plant colour and condition visible on the NDVI map indicate fungal disease outbreaks and pest damage before they spread across the entire field.

📊

Agronomic report

Complete report with NDVI maps, orthophoto, zone analysis and recommendations for fertilization and crop protection.

Who benefits from drone precision farming?

Drones give farmers eyes in the sky. Instead of walking a 100-hectare field looking for problems, one hour of flight delivers an NDVI map showing the condition of every square metre. Result: precise fertilization, rapid response to disease and pests, documented losses for insurance.

How does a drone agricultural inspection work?

1

Mission planning

We establish acreage and crop type, define areas of interest and plan the flight route with optimal altitude and photo overlap.

2

Field flight

The drone with multispectral camera and RTK module performs an automatic flight at set altitude. 100 hectares in one working day.

3

Data processing

We generate orthophotos, NDVI maps and other vegetation indices. Zone analysis identifies areas requiring intervention.

4

Report and recommendations

We deliver a report with maps, crop condition analysis and agronomic recommendations. Data exportable in formats compatible with field terminals.

Drone applications in agriculture

Crop health monitoring (NDVI) during growing season
Hail damage documentation for insurance
Variable rate application (VRA) planning
Fungal disease outbreak detection
Agricultural land inventory
Irrigation efficiency analysis

Frequently asked questions — agriculture

What is NDVI and how does it help in agriculture?
NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) is a plant health indicator calculated from multispectral images. Higher values (0–1) indicate healthier plants. The NDVI map shows which field areas are growing well and which need intervention (fertilization, protection, irrigation).
How many hectares can a drone map in one day?
In typical conditions, we map 80–120 hectares per day at 2–3 cm/pixel resolution. Exact output depends on field shape and required resolution.
Can I use drone data in my field terminal?
Yes. We export data in SHP, GeoTIFF and prescription map formats compatible with popular precision farming systems (John Deere, Trimble, CLAAS, AgLeader).
When is the best time to fly over crops?
Optimally during the active growth phase (BBCH 30–60). For cereals: April–June, for maize: June–August. If disease or pests are suspected — immediately.
Can a drone detect crop disease before it's visible to the eye?
Yes. Multispectral cameras detect changes in leaf light reflection 1–2 weeks before visible symptoms appear. This enables early, targeted intervention.
How much does drone field mapping cost?
Price depends on area and analysis scope. NDVI mapping of a 50 ha field starts from 200 EUR net. Regular monitoring subscriptions (e.g. every 3 weeks) are available. Quotes are free.
Can I order damage documentation only for insurance?
Yes. We perform one-time documentation flights with detailed orthophoto, damaged area calculation and photographic report accepted by insurance companies.
