Drone Crop & Weed Surveys in West Sussex
Multispectral NDVI/NDRE crop health mapping and weed detection for arable farms across West Sussex.
West Sussex splits broadly into two arable landscapes: the fertile coastal plain around Chichester, where cereals and general cropping sit on some of the best-graded farmland in the South East, and the chalk downland of the South Downs to the north, closer in character to the arable land across Hampshire. MPA surveys both — crop health mapping to reveal variability that isn't visible from the ground, early enough in the season to act on it.
Flying the DJI Mavic 3 Multispectral, we capture NDVI and NDRE index maps showing nitrogen stress, disease pressure, and establishment variability across a field. For farms with grass weed pressure, our weed detection service maps individual weed plants at centimetre resolution and turns that into a sprayer-ready spot-spray prescription.
SFI26 in West Sussex
If your West Sussex 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).
