With on-farm research, we are always testing new ideas. Here, we’re running a trial for spot spraying by installing ground control points in the field and collecting drone imagery. This data will be processed to generate a prescription map.
We placed 1”, 3”, and 5” targets in the field, and based on the prescription, we’ll later spray the area with water and use spray cards on the targets to evaluate spot-spray accuracy. This setup will then be replicated under real field conditions.
Drones can be utilized to take aerial imagery to determine crop stress, stand count, and fertility recommendations. They allow the flexibility of viewing entire fields in one snapshot all throughout the growing season! #onfarmresearch📍🌱
