Industrial & Specialist Crops

Recommended Growing Cycle Scouting

Industrial and specialist crops such as hemp, Miscanthus, and other biomass crops are increasingly important in UK farming, offering new revenue streams and long-term land use opportunities. However, managing these crops efficiently across large areas requires better visibility and cost control. FarmingByDrone provides both.

Using high-resolution and multispectral imaging, we monitor crop establishment, growth rates, and field variability across extensive or hard-to-access land. This allows you to identify underperforming areas, soil constraints, and early signs of stress, helping you optimise crop performance and make informed long-term decisions about land use.

Precision Drone Spraying for Industrial Crops

When intervention is needed, our drone spraying service enables targeted application of nutrients, treatments, or bio-stimulants exactly where they are required. This avoids unnecessary blanket applications and reduces input costs, particularly important for crops where margins are closely managed over multiple seasons.

Drones are especially effective for large or remote fields, operating quickly without the need for heavy machinery, reducing soil compaction and operational costs.

The result is a more scalable, efficient approach to managing industrial crops, helping you maximise output, reduce costs, and improve overall return from emerging crop markets.
