How NDVI Helps with Irrigation, Crop Yields, and Environmental Efficiency
Modern farming is becoming more data-driven than ever—and NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) is at the heart of that transformation.
At TUATH Nuà, we use drones equipped with NDVI sensors to gather real-time data on plant health. These surveys give farmers a powerful snapshot of how crops are performing across an entire property.
What NDVI Tells You:
Areas of healthy vegetation vs. stressed crops
Early signs of disease or pest activity
Inefficient irrigation zones or waterlogging
Variability in soil fertility or drainage
Smarter Irrigation
NDVI pinpoints where water is over- or under-applied, helping reduce waste and promote healthier root zones. That means less water used and better crop results.
Boosting Yields
Targeted data means farmers can take action exactly where it’s needed—whether it’s applying fertiliser, adjusting irrigation, or replanting—leading to more consistent yields and healthier crops.
Environmental and Cost Benefits
By reducing water and chemical use, NDVI supports sustainable farming while cutting input costs. Plus, ongoing surveys help track the long-term impact of any changes.
