Drone Crop & Weed Surveys in Wiltshire

Multispectral NDVI/NDRE crop health mapping and weed detection for arable farms across Wiltshire.

Wiltshire's farmland is dominated by Salisbury Plain, its largest chalk downland area and mostly arable, growing wheat, barley, and oilseed rape alongside the Ministry of Defence's training ranges. To the north, the Marlborough Downs — part of the same North Wessex Downs chalk landscape that runs into Berkshire, Oxfordshire, and Hampshire — are similarly cereal-dominated.

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.

SFI26 in Wiltshire

If your Wiltshire 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).
