Summary Analysis

The NDVI analysis has identified numerous areas of stressed crops as well

as under-planted sections. Several areas could support the planting of

additional trees.

Macro patterns indicate generalized areas of stress that should be

investigated for nutrition deficiency as well as individual highly stressed

trees that should be investigated for infestation and infection.

The hydrology chart shows the average water flow over a 20 meter area,

and the analysis can be scaled up or down to suit the needs. An irrigation

specialist UAV-IQ works with made the following comments about utilizing

them to optimize irrigation systems.

“Irrigation sectors are designed to give per emitter the same amount of water at a

determined pressure and flow rate. You can change some emitters with different flow

rates in a same drip line, and you can irrigate by adjusting water amounts according to

NDVI sectors.

Additionally, plants that are receiving less water in a sloping area due to surface water

runoff can have another emitter placed close to them to help expand the irrigation bulb.

Where plants are growing less due to excess water, you can close some emitters, replace

the existing one with a minor flow rate emitter or prevent surface water runoff from

some emitters - perhaps with a micro tube coming from the dripline that is connected to

an emitter which can be placed underground.

So, in case you are re-designing an irrigation system for this property I can suggest

different emitters and if you want to improve the existing one you can replace emitters

with ones that are designed to adjust the flow rate and pressure.”
