Background
A Suffolk farm covering over 200 acres sought a more efficient way to monitor crop health and optimise resource use.

​

Challenge
Traditional crop monitoring methods were time-consuming and often missed early signs of stress. The farm needed a more precise and scalable solution.

​

Solution
SierraVega conducted drone-based multispectral imagery, providing detailed crop health data. This data was delivered to the farm’s agronomist for analysis, enabling targeted interventions like adjusting irrigation, fertiliser, and pest control.

​

Results

• Time savings: Reduced field assessment time by 65%.

• Cost savings: Reduced resource use by 25%.

• Improved yields: Increased crop yield by 10% through early intervention.

​

Conclusion
By using drone multispectral imagery and working with the agronomist, the farm improved crop health, saved time and money, and achieved higher yields.
