AirScout augments ground-scouting services by providing ongoing aerial photography approximately every two weeks throughout the growing season. AirScout provides both visual and thermal images, which are normally delivered to the farmer within 24 hours of acquisition. Their process uses state-of-the-art thermal technology that is far more precise and sophisticated than earlier infrared or NDVI methodologies. This photography can reveal temperature changes, which in plants, as in humans, can be indicative of illness and disease. When used in conjunction with ground scouting, this service can help spot, analyze and target treatments more effectively, without waste, and before plant health and productivity are compromised.
