The PM-Ir Precision Irrigation & Crop Monitoring UAV turns data into irrigation decisions. Its multispectral sensor suite measures plant health indices — NDVI, NDRE and canopy water content — across the field in a single pass. The resulting maps reveal exactly where crops are stressed, over- or under-watered, so irrigation, fertigation and planting can be tuned field-by-field instead of guesswork. An optional soil-moisture link enriches the picture with ground truth. Onboard RTK positioning and automated flight plans make repeatable surveys a matter of scheduling, and the cloud platform turns raw imagery into easy-to-read prescription maps and reports. Farms reduce water and input use while protecting yield — precision where it pays.
