What Can We Provide?
Real-Time Vegetation Indexes
We provide vegetation index maps (NDVI or custom) for a comprehensive understanding of your crops. Keep track of the progress of your crop, plant health and stress status, as well as evaluate the effectiveness of treatments you have applied.
Variable Rate Application Maps
Prescription maps based on crop health for fertilizer, growth regulator, and crop protection. Compatible with tractors, sprayers & spray drones. Drastically reduce herbicide use and save money on every acre.
Digital Surface Models
Get more detail about your irrigation variability and pinpoint erosion-prone areas with an elevation model of your field.
Why Choose Drone-Base Crop Scouting?
Crop scouting traditionally involves time-consuming fieldwork that often provides limited insights into crop health. AeroSeed’s drone crop scouting services take agricultural monitoring to the next level by delivering detailed, accurate, timely and efficient assessments without the need for extensive on-ground inspections. Here’s how drone technology revolutionizes crop management:
Real-Time Data Collection
Drones capture real-time data, allowing farmers to quickly identify problems and implement corrective actions on the very same day.
Cost-Effective Solutions
With extremely precise information, you can target only the exact areas that need it, reducing the quantity of inputs and saving money.
Efficient Field Coverage
A single drone flight can cover large acreage in a fraction of the time it would take to inspect on foot, reducing labor costs and time.
Enhanced Crop Health Insights
Our drones use multispectral imaging. This enables early detection of issues like pest infestations, nutrient deficiencies, and disease, even before they may be visible to your eyes.
Minimally Invasive
Our drones collect data without disturbing crops, ensuring sensitive plants remain undisturbed during key growth phases.
Drone-Based Crop Scouting
At AeroSeed, we provide advanced drone-based crop scouting services across Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and PEI, helping farmers achieve optimal crop health and maximize yields through real-time insights. Our precision agriculture technology empowers farmers with actionable data, allowing them to monitor crop health, detect issues early, and make informed decisions for effective farm management. This precision enables more efficient resource use, minimizing waste and environmental impact. Ultimately, drone-based crop scouting empowers farmers to make informed decisions that lead to healthier crops, optimized yields, and increased operational efficiency.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is drone crop scouting, and how does it benefit farmers?
Drone crop scouting is the use of drones equipped with advanced sensors to collect detailed aerial data on crop health and field conditions. This technology helps farmers detect issues like pest infestations, water stress, and nutrient deficiencies early, allowing for targeted interventions that optimize crop yield and reduce resource waste.
What are the advantages of drone crop scouting over traditional methods?
Drone crop scouting provides several advantages over traditional methods, including faster data collection, higher accuracy, and the ability to cover large fields efficiently. Unlike manual scouting, drones can pinpoint specific problem areas, allowing for precise treatments and reducing the need for unnecessary pesticide or fertilizer use, supporting both productivity and sustainability.
What crops benefit the most from drone crop scouting?
Drone crop scouting supports sustainable agriculture by providing precise data that reduces unnecessary pesticide, fertilizer, and water use. By targeting only the areas that need intervention, farmers can optimize resource use, minimize environmental impact, and support healthier, more resilient crops.
How does drone crop scouting support sustainable farming?
Drone crop scouting supports sustainable agriculture by providing precise data that reduces unnecessary pesticide, fertilizer, and water use. By targeting only the areas that need intervention, farmers can optimize resource use, minimize environmental impact, and support healthier, more resilient crops.
How often should I schedule drone crop scouting?
Many farmers find value in scheduling regular flights throughout the growing season, typically on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. Frequent crop scouting helps monitor ongoing crop health, allowing for timely interventions and supporting optimal growth and yield.
What technology does AeroSeed use for crop monitoring?
We utilize high resolution cameras and multispectral imaging. This allows us to capture a wide array of data allowing us to assess factors such as plant health, water content, and pest issues accurately. This advanced imaging technology provides farmers with insights that are not detectable through traditional field scouting alone.
How long does it take to receive data after a drone scouting session?
It depends of the type of data required, but often data can be delivered onsite within a few hours. AeroSeed provides easy-to-understand reports with actionable insights so farmers can make quick adjustments as needed.
