Case Study: 35% Yield Increase Through Precision Farming

Background

A 12,000-acre farm struggled with uneven yields despite consistent input levels.

Traditional scouting failed to reveal the underlying variability, prompting a data-driven approach.

Implementation

Dronlytics deployed weekly drone flights paired with soil sampling to build a precise productivity map.

Variable-rate fertiliser programs were launched within four weeks of data collection.

Results

The grower recorded a 35% yield increase in underperforming zones and reduced input spend by 18%.

The team now relies on automated alerts to schedule targeted interventions throughout the season.
