Invasive species: honeysuckle
Flown by Dave Osborne, Agriculture & Natural Resource Educator, Purdue Extension – Ripley County
UAV use in wooded areas can identify invasive plant species for removal along as well as track the effectiveness of control measures. Here we locate honeysuckle from fall 2018 to winter/spring 2019. The green in both of the natural, RGB orthomosaic and VARI plant health maps identify the invasive species growth before and after invasive control.
