The Honeycomb Corp AgDrone system allows users to survey up to 800 acres in a single flight hour, collecting both NIR and RGB imagery simultaneously. The durable wing design with Kevlar exoskeleton enables exportable georeferenced data collection over entire fields. Imagery examples demonstrate the system's ability to detect crop stress, moisture variations, fungal growth, and differences in crop growth over time. The practical data collected by the AgDrone helps lower input costs and increase yields by enabling more targeted fertilizer and irrigation applications.

4. Mill Waste Damages Crop
Last year mill waste-composted material was dumped and
the natural occurring acid leached out damaging the crop.

Blue indicates moisture variations in the soil.
Green hues indicate leaf out.

10. Winter Wheat NDVI Image Map
• Color patterning is consistent
across field indicating even
growth and health pattern.
• Yellow along right boarder is
most likely due to lighting
conditions and light upper level
fog during flight. Would
recommend field inspection to
confirm.
• Top left red coloring indicates
missing crop which was
confirmed via aerial imagery.
• Yellow highlighted within the
triangle shows an area of die off
that looks to have been sprayed.
• Blue spot at far East edge of
image indicates pooling water.

11. Practical and Actionable data

12. Tablet-based Mission PlanningFly During Winter
Flying during the winter months can deliver
significant data. You can learn where water, snow
and ice are building up. Ice and snow absorb NIR
so they show up green or white and the dormant
rye grass shows up red in this image. Late winter
flights can tell you when perennials are beginning
to grow again.

• Spray 25% to 50%
less
• Chemical costs drop
• Labor & Fuel costs
drop
• Yields increase
