Drone Crop & Weed Surveys in Oxfordshire
Multispectral NDVI/NDRE crop health mapping and weed detection for arable farms across Oxfordshire.
Oxfordshire's farmland runs from the mixed arable and grassland of the Vale of White Horse — where we flew one of our earliest surveys — south onto the Oxfordshire Downs, part of the same North Wessex Downs chalk landscape that runs into Berkshire, Wiltshire, and Hampshire. Cereals and oilseed rape dominate the higher, free-draining ground, with more mixed use on the Vale's clay soils.
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. See the Vale of White Horse case study.
SFI26 in Oxfordshire
If your Oxfordshire 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).
