Data Driven Agriculture
Drone mapping software is used to create maps of a survey area using data collected by AeroStar Dynamics Drones. The drone uses cameras and other sensors to capture images, video, thermal data, and multispectral information as it flies over fields. This data is then processed by specialized software to create detailed maps, models, and analytics.
With the data, you can analyze and understand your crop information and use it to increase crop production and reduce costs.
Multispectral soil quality maps allow farmers to make informed decisions about where to plant certain crops and when to make adjustments resulting in bigger, healthier yields with more sustainable land management practices.
Crop Data Collection
AeroStar Dynamics Drones are equipped with sensors and imaging technology that can collect data on crop health and soil conditions enabling farmers to make data-driven decisions regarding pest control, irrigation, and fertilization to increase yields and reduce costs.
Why collect data?
The condition of your crops is key. Data is collected to help properly spray and seed.
How We Collect Data
Through the collection and delivery of real-time precision data from the moment of plant emergence until harvest, drones successfully and efficiently monitor plant growth. Drones can offer an abundance of information on the state of each half square inch of crop or soil thanks to fast and accurate GPS (Global Positioning System) or GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) technology, a high-resolution camera, and varying flying speeds and altitudes.
Technology developments in agriculture help farmers in obtaining precise data about their fields enabling them to make informed decisions.
Soil Analysis
Farmers understand that maintaining a precise balance between soil conditions and other environmental factors is necessary for healthy crop management.
Drone soil analysis is the process of using drones to measure the moisture content, nutrient levels, and other characteristics of soil. Depending on the crop, different degrees of salinity, moisture, and nutrients are required, but need to be balanced and regularly monitored.
Aerial Drones give land owners and researchers a bird’s-eye view of the issue.
Digital soil mapping helps farmers predict soil properties from gathered data.
Drone soil analysis uses sophisticated imaging technology to gather data.
This technology performs soil mapping and field analysis using drones outfitted with remote sensing cameras that collect information and data.
Sensors collect data powering advanced software that can assess minute differences in soil composition.
Using insights gathered from drone soil analysis, farmers and engineers can combine valuable information to determine ideal seed planting patterns, appropriate watering or fertilizing strategies, and more.
Farming Productivity
Using multispectral imagery is beneficial in creating a scaled map of conditions over large areas of agriculture. By utilizing multispectral maps of their fields, farmers can better understand the range of soil quality of their fields and informed decisions about where to collect soil samples.
Soil Health Monitoring
Multispectral soil mapping helps in understanding how crop production is impacting the health of the soil over time.
