Stand Counts and Vigor Mapping
Smarter Replant Decisions with PASUAV Early-season decisions set the ceiling for yield. One of the most costly mistakes growers make is guessing—waiting too long to assess emergence, or replanting entire fields when only specific zones are underperforming. Precision Agricultural Services (PASUAV) helps eliminate that guesswork through stand counts and crop vigor mapping, giving growers clear, […]
Drones for Pipeline and Right-of-Way Observation
Detecting Washouts, Encroachments, and Erosion with Commercial Drones Pipeline corridors and utility rights-of-way extend for miles across changing terrain. Maintaining visibility along these corridors is essential for safety, compliance, and asset protection—but ground inspections alone are slow, inconsistent, and often reactive. Commercial drones provide a non-intrusive, high-level observation layer that helps operators identify developing issues […]
The Global Drone Revolution Is Reshaping Agriculture — And Florida Growers Are Part of the Transformation
In the past decade, drones have moved from hobby gadgets to critical tools in global agriculture, reshaping how farmers grow food and manage land. A recent study published in Science by Michigan State University researchers Ben Belton and Leo Baldiga documented how agricultural drones have expanded at extraordinary speed — first across Asia, then into […]
Drone vs. Plane Applications
Why Drones Are Becoming the Better Choice for Today’s Growers For decades, fixed-wing aircraft were the only practical way to apply herbicides, fungicides, and foliar nutrients from the air. They covered large acreages quickly and kept equipment out of the field. But agriculture has changed. Fields are smaller, crops are more diverse, and growers need […]
Aerial Fungicide Applications
Why Timing Matters More Than Ever Fungicide only works when it’s applied at the right moment. Florida growers already know how quickly disease pressure can build, especially in strawberries and citrus. What’s changing is how narrow the effective spraying window has become. Morning dew, humidity swings, and fast-moving weather patterns all play a role in […]
Supporting a 30-Year Strawberry Legacy in Plant City
PASUAV Partners With Farm N 4 U Florida’s agricultural landscape is built on family traditions, early mornings, and generations of hands working the same soil. In Plant City — the heart of Florida’s strawberry country — Farm N 4 U has spent more than 30 years growing and shipping fresh Florida strawberries across the eastern […]
How Precision Agriculture Is Helping Florida’s Citrus and Strawberry Growers Recover and Rebuild
Florida’s agricultural story is one of resilience. From the citrus groves of central Florida to the strawberry fields of Plant City, generations of families have worked the same soil — adapting to challenges and finding new ways to make the land flourish. In recent years, those challenges have been immense. Citrus greening continues to test […]
What Every Florida Farmer Should Know About Drone Crop Spraying
Precision Agriculture 101 In today’s fast-changing world of agriculture, precision isn’t just a buzzword — it’s a necessity. Rising input costs, unpredictable weather, and the need to steward resources wisely have pushed farmers to find smarter, more efficient ways to care for their crops. That’s where drone-based precision agriculture steps in, combining technology, data, and […]
