Drone Crop & Weed Surveys in Dorset

Dorset's arable land sits mainly on the chalk downland running through the centre and north of the county — the Dorset Downs and Cranborne Chase — where cereals and oilseed rape are grown on the higher, free-draining ground. To the north, the Blackmore Vale's heavier clay soils support mostly pasture and dairy, with arable fields on the better land. MPA surveys work across both: crop health mapping where you're growing cereals, and boundary or land-management surveys wherever you need aerial data.

Flying the DJI Mavic 3 Multispectral, we capture NDVI and NDRE index maps that reveal nitrogen stress, disease pressure, and establishment variability across a field — early enough in the season to act on. For farms dealing with grass weed pressure, our weed detection service maps individual weed plants and turns that into a sprayer-ready spot-spray prescription.
