As you do, we believe vine health is critical in creating the perfect wine. Grapes are monitored closely throughout the season, but wouldn't it be great to get an even closer look? To see what's under the skin? Think of it as a health check for your vineyard!
As a service provider to Viticulture we use cutting edge technology to work closely with vineyards, to offer multispectral drone surveys of the vine, providing that extra level of data and insight through detailed reports and imaging, to assist the Vineyard Manager or Head Winemaker in their decision-making.
What is Multispectral Imaging?
Plants naturally reflect light in differing degrees, depending on chlorophyll absorption. Multispectral sensors view light in the normal visual range that our eyes can see, as well as additional bands that are invisible to us, such as near-infrared. By measuring the canopy reflectance values we are able to reliably detect stressed vegetation before it becomes visible to the eye; often around 3 days beforehand!
Multispectral images are processed through a range of vegetation indexes, which give clear insight into vine stress or photosynthetic activity. Surveys can detect the early onset of disease such as Powdery Mildew before it spreads to the rest of the crop. Images are further complimented by satellite data layers indicating water content, providing yet deeper insight into vine health.
As a drone can cover a lot more acreage in a shorter period of time than traditional scouting, you save time and cost by reducing the need for visual inspection of every row. Areas of interest can be targeted for a 'boots on the ground' view of a specific area highlighted by the drone report. Further savings can also be made through the application of water or fertilizer to drone-targeted, GPS marked areas; great for your bottom line as well as the environment!
Monthly surveys enable growers to constantly monitor their vineyard health and protect future yields.
Vineyards using our service have seen these proven benefits:
How much does it cost?
Vineyard mapping surveys are competitively and simply priced to enable integration with your current management processes. Your investment includes pre-planning, the survey flight, post-processing with area analysis and comprehensive PDF report and data. Choose a one-off survey to obtain a 'current state', or opt for monthly monitoring surveys across the growing season. With no monthly subscriptions, you are truly in charge of your costs.
We charge a 'per visit' rate plus a low per acre depending on level of detail required. We provide surveys across the South, including Hampshire, Dorset, Wiltshire, West and East Sussex. Please contact us for a specific quote.
Further, we offer a 25% discount on your first vineyard survey; we believe our service will truly help you and providing an introductory price will enable you to see this first-hand.

"We were delighted with the drone mapping that Low Altitude was able to do for us over the growing season. It gave us invaluable insight into the health and functioning of the vines in real time and allowed us to fine-tune our precision viticulture by detecting strong areas or any issues before they became visible to the naked eye.
Their quick processing of results enabled us to ground truth the data, improve our decision-making, and proactively tweak our vineyard management accordingly. We look forward to continuing our relationship with Low Altitude in the future"

We can also map your vineyard and create 3d digital models, which are useful for visualising the layout and planning any changes. Measurements can be added to monitor growth of the vine. They can even be used to create a fly-over, ideal for showcasing your vineyard to potential visitors!
Please let us know your requirements and we will be happy to provide a bespoke, no-obligation quotation.
