Scanning hundreds of small chick pea trial plots in NDVI, instantly shows up the top performers.

Wind speed on the ground. At 400 ft, it would be at least 45 Kph, but we launched the AgEagle and she flew just right, scanned the crop – no problem.

The cost of bird damage to Australian crops is more than $300 million every year. The key to breaking their feeding pattern is – never do the same thing twice. So we have fitted a sonic device under the AgFalcon and with 4 or 5 different flight plans every day for 5 to 8 days,

We find that crops with high water content, can show different NDVI values depending when we scan. Grapes and tomatoes, for example, as the fruit improves the leaves do not, hence showing lower NIR reflectivety.

“The Ag Eagle performs well beyond my expectations, is easy to operate, & is virtually trouble- free.A huge bonus in owning the Ag Eagle is the customer service provided by Falcon UAV.Phil is always available to assist in any way with prompt, friendly & informed advice, & provides 100% backup of the product.He is a

NDVI or Normalized Difference Vegetation Index: all plants both absorb and reflect radiation. The chlorophyll in the a plant reflects indicates a robust, healthy plant.Outside of this, is a plant ‘under stress’ ! An NDVI image can identify those problem areas. By having this imagery of a crop or field, allows a farmer or agronomist,

With various robotic aircraft (UAV’s, UAS, drones) becoming available to farmers and agronomists, it is important to carefully weigh the available options. Just as farmers have more than one tractor on the farm where each one is better suited for specific applications, robotic aircraft come in various configurations and sizes. For example, you wouldn’t think
