Drone Solutions for Agriculture

  • Research Plot Measurement

Mavic 3 Multispectral

​Issue

On research trials for seeds, herbicides, and others, germination rate, weed density, leaf area, and other measurements are normally done by field technicians. 

​

Solution

​

Value

Higher accuracy, faster processing

  • Orchard Management

Mavic 3 Multispectral orchard management

By mapping orchards with multispectral imageries, orchard managers can monitor growth variations, weed density and distribution, and elevation drop. Further, tree counts can be generated automatically in Terra. 

  • Cotton Emergence Count

Mavic 3M cotton emergence count

Issue

​Germination rate investigation is important in cotton planting, which can guide decisions of re-planting, irrigation, fertilization and so on.

​

Solution

  • Mavic 3 Multispectral Imaging;

  • Cotton Emergence Count on DJI SmartFarm

​

Value

Emergence count using high-resolution image from M3M and AI detection accelerates the process and improve counting accuracy.

​

  • Variable Rate Fertilization

Issue

​Flat rate fertilization can cause over use of fertilizer, wasting fertilizer and may also causing heading delay and crop lodging in the later stage. 

​

Solution

  • Mavic 3 Multispectral Mapping;

  • Image stitching on DJI Terra or DJI SmartFarm to generate vegetation indices such as NDVI

  • Prescription generation on Terra or SmartFarm

  • VRA fertilization using AGRAS drone or tractor

​

Value

In 2022, farmer in Japan utilized drone based VRA solution, and achieved yield increase while reduce fertilizer use

  • VRA of Growth Regulator on Cotton

Issue

​Flat rate application of growth regulation ignores growth variation in cotton field, which may decrease yield potential. 

​

Solution

  • Mavic 3 Multispectral Mapping;

  • Image stitching on DJI Terra or DJI SmartFarm to generate vegetation indices such as NDVI

  • Prescription generation on Terra or SmartFarm

  • VRA fertilization using AGRAS drone or tractor

​

Value

In 2022, farmer in China achieved yield increase by growth regulator VRA

  • Decease Detection - A Developer Case

M3M decease detection

Issue

​Manual scouting can only cover limited area of the field. Decease that is not dated in the early stage can cause yield damage.

​

Solution

  • Mavic 3 Multispectral scouting with high resolution images;

  • Uploading to AgroScout for decease AI detection

​

Value

Auto scouting with drone, improving scouting efficiency and coverage, so that decease can be detected in time.

​

  • Forest Growth Monitoring

Issue

Traditional forestry survey is difficult, inefficient and costly.​

​

Solution

  • Mavic 3 Multispectral Mapping;

  • Generate NDVI, GNDVI, LCI, NDRE, OSAVI.

  • Area calculation via DJI Terra

  • Use 3rd party software such as ENVI and ARCGIS for vegetation coverage and forest gap analysis.

​

Value

High Efficiency,  safety and reliability

  • Water Quality Monitoring

Issue

​Traditional 2D model or orthophoto cannot quantify and judge the pollution of the river.

​

Solution

  • The multispectral imaging of different water bodies is different, and can be used for analysis.

  • Use M3M to collect data and use DJI Terra for modeling. The model shows high chlorophyll content (greater than 0.5), which represents a high degree of eutrophication in this water area

​

Value

High efficiency, safety and reliability.
