Sugarcane Sett Counting & Growth
Count sett germination, 500ha/flight
Mission briefing
Sugarcane Sett Counting & Growth sits in the special stage of the crop cycle. It runs on a ebee ag carrying rgb + lidar, and in Bihar the window is after planting at a frequency of monthly. Expect roughly 500ha/flight per sortie, and stand the drone down outside the wind <10m/s envelope — flying past it wastes chemical and risks drift onto neighbouring plots. Readings are interpreted through RGB count, so the payload has to output those bands rather than plain RGB. Count sett germination, 500ha/flight On a medium-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.
