Why is it key to understand the difference? In the agricultural world, choosing the right method for pest and disease control can make the difference between a healthy harvest and a compromised yield. The terms fumigation and spraying are often used interchangeably, but in fact, they refer to very different application techniques, each with its [...]

Flood damage DAMAGE ASSESSMENT Using aerial photogrammetry, we conducted an accurate assessment of damage to agricultural land affected by flooding, mapping an impacted area of approximately 7 hectares. Through geospatial analysis, we estimated production losses by considering the unusable surface area and the extent of crop damage. This detailed information was key to the preparation [...]
Phytosanitary treatment against rice stink bug TREATMENTS Treatment against rice stink bug (Eysarcoris ventralis) in the Rice Fields of Vega Baja, Extremadura. In 2023, we carried out phytosanitary treatments promoted and authorized by the Ministry of Agriculture of the Junta de Extremadura to control Eysarcoris ventralis, a pest affecting the region’s rice fields. More than [...]
Terraced olive grove treatment TREATMENTS Fertilization and biostimulation in terraced olive groves In a terraced olive grove with complex topography, we applied fertilization and biostimulation treatments using drones, overcoming logistical challenges and reducing costs. The terrain’s geography made access difficult, but drones ensured precise and efficient application, optimizing input usage and maximizing harvest yield. This [...]
Analysis of vegetative development in vineyards MONITORING AND REMOTE SENSING Multispectral analysis in vineyards We perform a multispectral drone analysis over a vineyard to assess its health status. Using different vegetation indices such as NDVI, GCI, and NDRE, we detect areas with lower vegetative vigor. This pattern led to a detailed soil inspection, where a [...]
Panama disease in banana plantations MONITORING AND REMOTE SENSING Multispectral analysis for the detection of panama disease in banana plantations In this study, a multispectral analysis was conducted in a banana plantation to identify areas affected by panama disease (Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense), one of the most destructive diseases in banana crops. Using drones [...]
Orange grove test plot MONITORING AND REMOTE SENSING Through a multi-temporal analysis using remote sensing, we conducted detailed monitoring of a test plantation, detecting variations in vigor and areas with lower development. This study allowed for a better understanding of the crop’s response to different conditions, providing key information for future optimizations in agricultural management. [...]
Monitoring Lettuce with Drones MONITORING AND REMOTE CONTROL Through remote sensing and multispectral analysis, we assessed the condition of a lettuce plantation, identifying variability in crop development and areas affected by damage. Using vegetation indices, we generated a zoning map of estimated yield, allowing us to detect areas with lower vigor and potential production deficiencies. [...]
Phytosanitary Treatment for Fruit Flies TREATMENTS In 2022 and 2024, we carried out phytosanitary treatments authorized by the Generalitat against the Mediterranean fruit fly (*Ceratitis capitata*) in more than 700 hectares of mandarin and orange trees for the public administration. Additionally, we participated in trials to evaluate the efficiency, effectiveness, and safety of these treatments [...]
