Use Case - Health index of a citrus plantation
Polk Drones / USAThe setting
Polk Drones is hired by a crop insurance provider for mapping citrus groves all over the state of Florida. Before the use of the Trinity F90+ they manually counted the trees with the help of a “clicker.”
Polk Drones has automated the process and also provides tree health. With the Trinity F90+ they have flown 22.000 acres over the past 5 months. The groves are inspected every 5 years.
