Popcorn stand counts
Flown by John Scott, Digital Agriculture Extension Coordinator, Purdue Extension
Drones were tested on performance in taking stand counts to evaluate seed spacing and uniform stand in rows of popcorn. Flights were conducted around the V2 growth stage or when two leaves are fully emerged to avoid too much canopy coverage. Four flights were conducted at 30, 50, 70 and 400 feet above ground level to compare resolution. Counts were conducted using Drone Deploy as well as Purdue startup Progeny, then compared with data from field crews. Both counts fell within an acceptable margin of error for the popcorn company.
