Forestry
Forestry:
Aerial AG is revolutionising forestry through the application of drones for multispectral imaging, spraying, and spreading. Our drones optimise input application, reduce waste, and minimise human labour and exposure to chemicals. From reforestation to forest health monitoring, our precision forestry operations empower better resource management and safeguard Ireland’s woodlands.
Applied Technology in Forestry:
Tree Planting & Reforestation:
Drones spray seedlings and nutrients for reforestation efforts, targeting specific areas for growth and replenishment.
Understory Rejuvenation:
Improve the forest understory layer by spreading seeds of desired plant species, promoting biodiversity and soil stability.
Cover Crops:
Manage cover crops sustainably, protecting soil health, reducing erosion, and improving water quality through innovative drone services.
Forest Health Monitoring:
Detect disease and stress in trees using drones equipped with multispectral sensors, providing detailed images for proactive management.
Erosion Control:
Quickly establish cover crops to prevent erosion in vulnerable areas such as slopes and riverbanks.
Pest and Disease Control:
Efficiently manage pest outbreaks and diseases by spraying insecticides and fungicides over large, forested areas.
Nutrient Application:
Apply nutrients to promote forest health, especially in nutrient-poor soils or areas inaccessible to traditional methods.
Tree Species Classification:
Map different tree species and their health, facilitating selective treatment and forest area management.
Fire Management:
Monitor forested areas for hotspots, manage controlled burns, and assess damage after storms or fires using drones.
Inventory Management:
Gather data for tree counting, sizing, and biomass estimation, aiding in inventory management and timber yield predictions.
Irrigation Efficiency:
Use thermal imagery to detect areas with dry or pooling soil, allowing for precise irrigation and water conservation strategies.
