Drone Crop & Weed Surveys in Hampshire
Multispectral NDVI/NDRE crop health mapping and weed detection for arable farms across Hampshire.
Hampshire is where McLaren Precision Agriculture started, and it's where our weed detection method was first developed and field-validated — on a winter wheat field dealing with ryegrass contamination. The county's chalk downland, part of the wider North Wessex and South Downs landscape, and the Test Valley's mixed arable and grassland, both feature heavily in the surveys we fly.
Flying the DJI Mavic 3 Multispectral, we capture NDVI and NDRE index maps that reveal nitrogen stress, disease pressure, and establishment variability — weeks before it's visible from the ground. For grass weed problems, our weed detection service maps individual plants and produces a sprayer-ready spot-spray prescription. See the Hampshire ryegrass case study.
SFI26 in Hampshire
If your Hampshire farm is entering SFI26 precision farming actions, our survey outputs provide the georeferenced crop variability data needed to generate variable rate application (VRA) prescription files for action PRF1, and our weed detection outputs are designed to serve as the remote sensing data source for PRF2 (camera or remote sensor guided herbicide spraying, £43/ha/year).
