How much of your field do you scout on foot?
How widespread is a specific problem or desirable trait?
How much do you value your time?
Without surveying your entire field you more than likely have no real idea. Capturing data from a Terrain Flight flight over your fields surveying becomes a non existent chore. An on-board 12MP Near Infrared imaging camera picks up the infrared reflectance in plants, which gives an indication of chlorophyll amounts present. The more chlorophyll the healthier the plant.
Using high powered Pix4D software, the captured information is uploaded onto a computer generating an NDVI image of the crop, which can be downloaded into most precision agriculture programs including Agleader, Trimble, Precision planting and John Deere monitors as a shape file map and following a quick scout in field by the farmer or his/her consultant to determine a prescription fertiliser or chemical application. This allows farmers to target specific areas for weed control or applying fertiliser.
"It allows for simple onsite information pointing to obvious problem areas in a crop that maybe not yet visible."Ag link to sensefly Agriculture website here
