GreenSight Agronomics Launching 2nd Generation Turfgrass Drone Service

GreenSight Agronomics, a leading turfgrass and agricultural drone services provider, today announced the launch of their second generation automated golf course drone and turfgrass analytics service.

GreenSight’s proprietary drone, sensors, and plant-health analytics provide turfgrass managers with actionable information on the health of their turf so they can make better decisions on when to apply fertilizer, pesticide, and optimize their irrigation systems. – James Peverill, CEO, GreenSight

The first generation GreenSight system being tested at Victoria Golf Club in B.C., Canada.

GreenSight’s drone systems, shipping in January, are offered as a annual lease and include the drone hardware, free hardware upgrades, support, and access to automated data processing and alerts to changing turfgrass conditions. The system was developed in conjunction with some of the most respected golf course superintendents in North America and refined in collaboration with agrochemical companies over their test plots in the U.S. and Europe. This second generation of the GreenSight drone includes a proprietary thermal camera enabling the company’s software to determine the transpiration rate of 9-holes of turfgrass each flight. The drone flies completely autonomously; the user simply places it on the takeoff site before the flight, then plugs it back in to power after the flight is complete. Data is uploaded and processed automatically using GreenSight’s Cloud service.
