Orchards & Vineyards

At Columbia Terrametrics, we help orchard and vineyard managers make better decisions with clear, timely data from the air. Using high-precision drones equipped with multispectral sensors and RTK GPS, we deliver accurate, actionable insights across your entire block—without you needing to walk every row.

Multispectral imagery goes beyond what the eye can see, capturing detailed information about plant health, vigor, and stress through wavelengths like near-infrared (NIR) and red-edge. We convert this into easy-to-understand maps and indices—such as NDVI and NDRE—that reveal how different parts of your field are performing. You can spot early signs of disease, irrigation issues, nutrient deficiencies, or uneven growth before they become visible from the ground.

These insights are especially powerful when it comes to:

  • Early-season vigor mapping to assess bud break and growth variability

  • Mid-season monitoring to fine-tune irrigation, spraying, or thinning strategies

  • Harvest planning by identifying ripeness variability row by row, helping you prioritize picking for peak quality and efficiency

  • Season-over-season comparisons to evaluate changes, manage replanting decisions, or track yield improvements over time

Our high-resolution maps are GPS-accurate to the centimeter, so you can integrate them directly into your farm management software or use them on a tablet in the field. Whether you're managing a 5-acre vineyard or a large orchard operation, Columbia Terrametrics gives you the tools to grow smarter, reduce guesswork, and get the most from your land.
