Mission briefing
Cover Crop Seeding sits in the planting stage of the crop cycle. It runs on a xag p100 carrying seeder, and in Bihar the window is oct after rice at a frequency of 1x. Expect roughly 10ha/hr per sortie, and stand the drone down outside the wind <6m/s envelope — flying past it wastes chemical and risks drift onto neighbouring plots. Readings are interpreted through NA, so the payload has to output those bands rather than plain RGB. Mustard cover crop fast On a easy-difficulty mission like this, the cost driver is not the drone — it is the number of return trips and the pilot hours around them, which is what the payback maths on the economics page turns on.
