SERVICE

NDVI crop imaging for almonds, walnuts & rice.

Multispectral drone flights that map plant health across an entire field — catching irrigation gaps, nutrient stress, and disease pressure before they're visible from the ground, let alone from the road.

WHAT YOU GET

A health map, not just a pretty photo.

NDVI health index map

Every block color-coded by plant vigor, so stressed zones are obvious at a glance instead of buried in a walk-through.

Flagged zone report

The specific rows or blocks worth a closer look, called out by name — not a generic heat map you have to interpret yourself.

Season-over-season comparison

On a recurring package, each flight is compared against the last so you can see whether a treatment actually worked.

WHO THIS IS FOR

Growers who'd rather catch it early than walk every row.

Almond and walnut orchards get standard-cadence flights through the growing season. Rice ground runs a tighter schedule — 6 to 8 flights through the reproductive phase, when stress shows up fast and matters most.

01

Flight

Timed for light, usually early morning.

02

Processing

Imagery becomes a health index, same night in most cases.

03

Report

Flagged zones and season comparison, in plain language.

04

Walkthrough

A call, or a walk of the flagged blocks together.

Starting estimate
$5–20 / acre / flight

Seasonal packages (4-8 flights) bring the per-flight cost down — the homepage calculator breaks out single-flight vs. season-package pricing for your acreage.

FAQ

How is this different from a regular aerial photo?

A regular photo shows color you can already see. NDVI uses a multispectral sensor to measure near-infrared reflectance — it shows plant stress days to weeks before it's visible to the eye.

Does this replace my PCA or agronomist?

No — it's a tool that tells your PCA or agronomist exactly where to look, instead of walking the whole property to find the same thing.

What's the flight cadence for rice specifically?

Rice ground typically runs 6-8 flights concentrated in the reproductive phase, since stress there compounds fast. Almonds and walnuts usually run a standard 4-flight season package.
