How many trees are visible in an orchard? Which rows have gaps? An aerial view helps show the arrangement of plantings and locate areas that need checking.

Power Drone plans counting and inventory missions with farmers, orchard managers and plantation teams. Together, we define what needs to be counted and how the result should be presented to support your records.

Define what needs to be counted

An inventory can cover observable orchard trees, distinct plants or the distribution of plantings by sector. Our initial discussion defines the unit required: a tree, a planting position or a clearly identified group.

This distinction matters where canopies meet or some elements are hidden. The method needs to match what can actually be distinguished in the images and how the results will be used.

Planting plans and previous counts provide useful references. They help establish the expected layout before the aerial images are examined.

Locate apparent gaps and areas to check

A break in a row or an empty space may deserve a check. The views locate these observations so your team can find them on the ground.

Where a planting plan is available, it helps compare intended positions with observable plants. Without that reference, an open space is not necessarily evidence of a missing plant.

The observations can help plan a field round, check particular rows or update your records. Confirming a gap and deciding on replacements depend on your knowledge of the plantation.

Why choose Power Drone for your tree and plant inventory?

A single total is not always enough to manage a plantation. We plan the survey around your working units and the way you will locate observations on the ground.

  1. Your organisation provides the reference

    Fields, blocks, rows or sectors: the references you use on the ground help define an inventory your team can understand.

  2. Data capture planned for counting

    Our drone experience and choice of platforms let us organise views around the elements to distinguish and the plantation's boundaries.

  3. Direct discussion of expected results

    You discuss the inventory's purpose with the team planning the mission. We agree areas and deliverables at proposal stage.

Outputs that help locate observations in the field

Do you need a total for each field, a block-by-block view or the location of breaks in rows? The intended result determines how the inventory should be presented.

A location view can connect observations with your usual references. If you already number rows or maintain a tracking file, share it so we can plan suitable deliverables.

  • Boundaries of the plantings included in the inventory.
  • Agreed counting unit and method.
  • Results organised by field or sector.
  • Locations of areas requiring ground checks.

These elements are defined in the proposal. If your objective is to observe vegetation variations, multispectral analysis addresses a different question and is planned separately.

Plan the survey with the plantation manager

  1. Gather existing references

    Send boundaries, plantation type and available documents. We discuss the elements to count and any known difficulties.

  2. Choose suitable data capture

    The plantation's stage and visibility of the target elements inform planning. Access and timing are coordinated with you.

  3. Define the expected result

    The proposal specifies the area, proposed method and deliverables. Any comparison with an earlier inventory is assessed before the visit.

Before your mission

What can be inventoried in a plantation?

The mission can count observable trees or plants and represent their distribution. Plantation type, visibility and the unit you want to count inform the agreed method.

Can the inventory be compared with a planting plan?

Yes, this comparison can be planned using an available plan. Its correspondence with the ground and the detail required need to be assessed before the mission.

How can we find apparent gaps on site?

Locations are prepared using your field names, blocks or row numbering. Observed breaks can then be placed in context for ground verification.

How will the results be presented?

Tell us whether your records need a total by field, a block-by-block view or locations of particular areas. The proposal specifies how results and deliverables will be organised for that use.

Which inventory do you need to create or update?

Send plantation boundaries, the number of fields and available plans. Explain what you want to count and how you will use the result.
