Disease detection

Multispectral sensors can highlight small changes in the health of crops. This is because multispectral imagery captures

a critical part of the light spectrum for studying plants (712–722 nm), called the red edge band. It is in this section of the

spectrum that the first signs of stress start to show. Sometimes this stress is related to disease. Using analytics generated

with the red edge band, growers can identify, monitor and track disease-related stress. This is how multispectral sensors

can help growers catch disease sooner and act faster to stop the spread.
