Plant Population Analytics assess where plants are and are not growing, calculates an emergence measurement and visually represents results with a colored heat map.

By calibrating normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) lighting, the Incident Light Sensor offers agronomists, crop consultants and growers a more accurate way to compare images of the same area, captured over time.

In a single flight, visual-band RGB, near-infrared (NIR) and normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) data is simultaneously captured, and then interpreted in the field to quickly detect problem areas and respond with action.

Under the agreement, senseFly and its global network of distributors can distribute 6 month subscriptions of the MicaSense Atlas Pro plan, alongside any senseFly drone solution featuring the Parrot Sequoia, or separately on-demand.

The iOS app works with Agrible’s flagship software, Morning Farm Report which is a suite of predictive analytics tools that give growers field-level insights about everything from when they can take equipment into the fields to how much nitrogen each field needs.

The goal of Crop Copter's launch of this new component of their business is to exceed in the education and training for farmers on UAV ownership, maintenance, operations, abilities and outcomes from the use of these drones.

The Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Training Team at Avion Unmanned in Huntsville, Ala., announced the launch of their Online UAS Training Portal.

senseFly, a producer of professional mapping drones, will host a free educational webinar focusing on the different applications of drones in agriculture at 10:00 a.m. Eastern time on Tuesday, Jan. 24.

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)—better known as drones—have been used commercially since the early 1980s. Today, however, practical applications for drones are expanding faster than ever in a variety of industries, thanks to robust investments and the relaxing of some regulations governing their use.
