The company said that among those was a recently launched commercial drone service, developed by Plantsystems - Agrovista's precision services arm.
This offers flight packages carried out by the company's fully-approved unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operators, or a processing service for farmers who have their own drones.
'The development of drone technology is providing real potential for using relatively simple hobby tools for more complex agronomy tasks," said Lewis McKerrow, Agrovista's head of precision technology.
Research by the company has shown that higher specification hobby drones, costing around £1200-£1800, fitted with a good-quality standard visual camera can do most of the tasks carried out by professional drones costing several times as much.
""Good hobby drones are fine for identifying most parameters of field performance," pointed out Mr McKerrow. ""You need something with a reasonable flight time of 15 minutes or more, even when it's a bit windy.
Agrovista uses its MaplT Pro software to process data captured by the drone from several passes during the season to create field maps. These can be used for variable rate drilling and nitrogen application, and even patch spraying weeds with high resolution accuracy.
Flight and data processing charges vary according to location and job size, but typically cost £3-4/ha.
Those who only require the data processing service will pay around 50p/ha per zone map and £1/ha for a zone and rate map.
