Field notes from recent survey flights across Rajasthan and Gujarat
NDVI maps flagged a 12-acre patch of mustard showing early aphid stress. The farmer sprayed only the affected zone instead of the whole field, cutting pesticide use by nearly two-thirds.
Thermal imagery revealed a blocked drip line in a tomato polyhouse. The blockage was invisible from the ground, but the moisture map showed a dry strip running the length of the bed. Repairs took one afternoon.
Soil moisture readings from a single flight helped a wheat grower reschedule his next irrigation by four days. He saved water and avoided waterlogging in the low-lying corner of the field.
A vegetation index map for a cotton block showed uneven emergence in the northern rows. The farmer replanted the sparse section early, before the gap affected the season's canopy development.
Before you book a drone survey, it helps to know exactly what the report covers and what it does not. These clarifications define the boundaries of our crop health monitoring service, so you can read the vegetation index maps and recommendations with the right expectations.
