Do I need my own drone?
No. During the beta, Terravect arranges the survey: a qualified pilot flies a multispectral sensor over your land and the imagery comes straight to us. You give us access and a boundary, nothing else.
Where do you operate?
We are based in West Yorkshire and are taking beta partners across Northern England first. If you are further afield, register anyway and tell us where you are.
How many beta partners are you taking?
A limited number. Every partner means a survey flown, imagery processed and findings read properly, so we would rather take on few enough to do that well than sign up everyone at once. We are starting across Northern England. If the places have gone by the time you get in touch, we will tell you and keep you on the list for the next intake.
What does the beta involve?
An initial survey, repeat passes through the season as conditions allow, and a short conversation after each one. How many passes, and when, is agreed with each partner.
What land does it work on?
Arable blocks, vineyards, sports pitches and golf courses. If you manage something else, grassland, orchards or parkland, tell us on the form: the survey method is the same and we would rather hear about it.
What can the models detect in a survey?
Patterns of stress that show in multispectral imagery before they show in colour: water stress, disease pressure and dry, fire-prone ground, pinpointed by the row, plot or pitch. A survey tells you where to look and what the reading was; it does not replace walking the ground.
What is the 3D model of my land?
A three-dimensional model of your land that every survey is laid over. Instead of a flat map, you see what was found and exactly where, on the shape of the ground it came from, pass after pass and season after season.
Do I need an agronomist to read it?
Terravect does not replace your agronomist. Findings come with plain observations and advice, so a farm manager or grounds team can act on them directly, and an agronomist can see exactly what the reading was and where it was taken. Read how agronomists use it.
