Servi-Tech Aerial ImageryProduct Description and Annotated Examples 2016
Imagery ProductsNative (true color) image• Similar to a Google Earth
image, but higher resolution and very up to date.

Imagery ProductsAdvanced Difference Vegetative Index (ADVI)• Serves the same purpose as
NDVI.• Colors are based how green
(or stressed) the crop is.

Imagery ProductsThermal• Healthy plants are cooler
(because there is more transpiration.)
• Stressed plants are warmer (because there is less transpiration.)

What can I learn from Aerial Imagery?
*May be visible only after the damage is done. Still better than not knowing!
Long-term field trends• Soil properties• Compaction problems• Land use history
Short-term conditions or events• Irrigation problems or inconsistencies• Nutrient deficiencies• Application errors• Weather damage• Insects*• Disease*
More Examples
Good placement for a moisture probe.
Greatly reduce planting population and fertilizer use due to water losses.
Drier soil not visible without thermal.
Bare Ground Thermal
Good placement for a moisture probe.
Very dry ridge! Consider a drought-resistant hybrid here.
This corner is disked and ridged for pipe.
Bare Ground Thermal
Soil variability caused by field levelling decades ago.
Wet area. Consider drainage solutions?
Dry area.

Identify mechanical problems:This pivot isn’t supposed to bend like that!

Identify mechanical problems:The purge valve has been left open on the end of this pivot.
ADVI Image
This 80 was sprayed when the soil was dry enough. This 80 was sprayed when
the soil was too wet!
The yield loss from this error can’t be identified from a yield monitor that is averaging 8 rows at a time!
In-Season Thermal
Moisture stress ahead of the pivot.
Moisture stress in the non-irrigated corner.
In-Season Thermal
Moisture stress varies greatly in this field due to soil type and topography.
This information can be used to better manage irrigation.
ADVI Image
Corn hybrid test plots show varying health (greenness.)
Early-planted corn was more susceptible to spider mites moving in from the edge of the field.
Few spider mites moving into the later-planted corn.
Drought-resistant hybrid test strips.
ADVI Image
Direction of tillage is still visible in mature crop.

Ordering Information• Confirm that your Servi-Tech representative created a
shapefile for the correct field.• Go through the contract process with your Servi-Tech
representative.• March 11th is the deadline to guarantee the first flights
are not missed.• One-time in-season flights may be available on a limited
basis, but at a higher per-flight cost.
