Aerial crop analysis: we see what the eye cannot — and deliver application, fertilization and seeding maps for site-specific field work.
FELDFALKE maps fields, orchards, vineyards and forest by drone with multispectral and RGB cameras. Deliverables are orthophotos, vitality maps (NDVI, NDRE) and application, fertilization and seeding maps; drainage systems and bark beetle infestation become visible too. For farms, municipalities and forestry around Lake Constance, in Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria and Switzerland. From 15 € per hectare net including travel and basic analysis (calculated for 50 hectares, multispectral, 1.0 cm resolution).
Our multispectral drone captures imagery in wavelengths the human eye cannot perceive. The result: vigor maps of your crop that show where plants are thriving and where disease, pest pressure or nutrient deficiencies are emerging — long before damage becomes visible.
Diseases and pest infestations are often only noticed once the damage has already been done.
Without a data basis, fertilizer, water and plant-strengthening treatments are applied uniformly instead of where they are needed.
Over-application wastes money and puts a strain on soil and groundwater.
The multispectral drone maps your field in a GPS-planned grid.
We calculate vegetation indices such as NDVI (vigor) and NDRE (nitrogen status).
You receive ready-to-use maps and concrete recommendations — no raw data left for you to deal with.
A DJI Mavic 3 Multispectral: a colour camera for the aerial image and four multispectral bands (green, red, red edge, near infrared), plus a sunlight sensor that compensates for changing light. The drone flies a planned GPS grid, and the images become the maps of vigour and nitrogen supply.
Service area: Lake Constance region, Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, Southern Germany and Switzerland — further afield on request. Flight planning and flight documentation are handled by our certified drone pilots.
Prescription and seeding maps for site-specific fertilization and variable rate seeding — compatible with common farm management systems.
NDRE-based assessment of nitrogen demand and biomass determination for fertilization planning.
Document hail damage, wildlife damage and gaps in the crop — reliable evidence for insurers and your farm records.
Regular survey flights reveal crop development, weed patches and yield forecasts.
from 15 € per hectareMultispectral mapping including travel, orthophoto and basic analysis
Net, calculated for 50 hectares of multispectral mapping and about 20 km of travel from Überlingen. Smaller areas cost more per hectare because travel and planning stay the same. Premium analysis with report and handover on USB or hard drive at extra cost. You see your price range right below in 30 seconds; after your enquiry we email you a firm quote within 24 hours.
As of 1 October 2026
A farm in the Hegau has wet spots in the field and no longer has a plan of the old drainage. In the dry late summer we fly 20 hectares multispectral at 1.0 cm resolution; the drain lines show up as lines in the image, the blockage is visible as a patch.
NDVI shows vitality and biomass, NDRE the nitrogen supply, even in dense crops where NDVI is already saturated. For fertilizer decisions from stem elongation onwards we therefore use NDRE.
0.4 to 0.5 cm per pixel for individual plants and fine weed detection, 1.0 to 1.5 cm for zones, nutrient demand and overview. The finer, the longer we fly and the more data there is. We recommend as fine as necessary.
As orthophoto and index maps for viewing, plus application maps as shapefile or ISO-XML for your terminal and farm management system. On request we fly the map directly with the agricultural drone.
For fertilizer decisions once or twice in spring, for damage documentation straight after the event, for drainage and soil structures once on dry soil in summer.
Yes. Drains and underground structures show up in the multispectral image in dry conditions; bark beetle infestation in the forest we detect by the loss of vitality of individual crowns before the needles turn brown.
From 15 € per hectare net including travel and basic analysis; the basis of calculation is in the price box above. 20 hectares cost from around 390 € net. Premium analysis with report at extra cost.
We take care of the flight planning and the documentation of the flight. We check with you beforehand whether your area needs a special permit.
We fly mapping across the whole Lake Constance region, in Upper Swabia, the Allgäu and eastern Switzerland, for arable farming, fruit and wine growing, municipalities and forestry. Travel is cheaper for mapping than for application because only the light drone comes along, so it pays off for single fields too.
The map becomes the application: variable rate where the need is.
