“Parrot Bluegrass Fields makes it easier than ever before for professionals such as agronomists, farmers and researchers to map their fields, to scout crops from the air, and to then act directly on the insights they gain,” said Jean-Thomas Celette, Chief Strategy & Product Officer for Parrot Business Solutions. “The seamlessness of this end-to-end solution also showcases the unique strength of Parrot Business Solutions, as it builds directly on Parrot Group’s drone, sensor and software expertise in the agricultural sector.”

EFFICIENT, RUGGED & EASY-TO-FLY – Proven quadcopter drone

The rugged, easy-to-fly Parrot Bluegrass agriculture drone features a robust carbon-fiber structure, a flight time of up to 25 minutes (three batteries are included), flight coverage of up to 65 ha (160 ac) per flight at 122m (400 ft), and a handy, tailor-made backpack for easy transportation. Its vertical take-off and landing ensure efficient operations, even in confined areas.

VISUAL SCOUTING AND CROP MAPPING – Two integrated multi-purpose sensors

With its integrated industry-leading multispectral Parrot Sequoia sensor and a 14 MP front RGB camera to shoot both pictures and videos in full HD (1080p), Parrot Bluegrass Fields is a truly multipurpose solution that suits both crop mapping and visual scouting.

ACTIONABLE IN-FIELD INSIGHTS – ParrotFields mobile app makes mapping and scouting quick & simple

In addition to the ParrotFields mobile mapping app, Parrot Bluegrass Fields includes one full year of access to Pix4Dfields desktop and cloud software for further in-depth analysis of the crop data gathered, including the creation of index maps for crop performance analysis and prescription maps that can be easily exported to tractors and Farm Management Information Systems.
