The department of Plant Sciences and Mechanical Engineering studied field crops including canola, spring wheat, lentils, peas, and faba-beans. As a part of preliminary study it was discovered that various band ratios (vegetation indices) derived from UAV-based HSI approach are strongly related to the seed vigor and crop varieties.

Maximizing operational efficiency and reducing input costs continues to be a goal of virtually every farming operation. Matt Heidemann, a Midwest corn grower, used the Quantix™ Hybrid Drone and AeroVironment Decision Support SystemTM (AV DSS) - a powerfully simple to use drone and data analytics ecosystem that delivers actionable field intelligence insights, to support his farming objects.

A walnut grower in Modesto, California had consistently received lower yields from the northern part of his field due to its sandy soil profile. Insights gained from drone data analytics allowed him to target inputs for increased canopy and yield. In the spring of 2016, imagery was collected and analyzed over two seasons on a 40-acre field to determine if analytics from drone imagery could help pinpoint areas of stress, and support a different management strategy.

In Minnesota, the Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) has begun implementation of the Groundwater Protection Rule (GPR), a revision to the Nitrogen Fertilizer Rule. The GPR seeks to minimize potential fertilize sources of nitrate pollution into the state's groundwater. To comply, each fertilizer application must be justified. To the growers, correct fertilizer placement is not just important in satisfying MDA's regulations, but providing a return on investment (ROI)
