As the days get hotter and the landscape dries out, land managers across farming, forestry, viticulture and environmental sectors begin to feel the weight of summer approaching. It’s the season where quick decisions, early detection and targeted action have a real impact. This is the time when the right technology can save hours, reduce waste and protect the long-term health of the land.
Rencon Air & Land combines thermal imaging, multispectral mapping and GPS-driven precision spraying to deliver fast, safe and intelligent land-management solutions that put accuracy and efficiency at the forefront. By pairing advanced aerial systems with on-ground experience, we give landowners, councils and commercial operators the information they need and the ability to act on it with confidence.
Thermal and multispectral imaging allow us to see what traditional inspection methods often miss. Summer stress, hidden leaks, sick trees, pest activity, declining canopy health and emerging hot spots can all be invisible at ground level. Our airborne systems reveal deeper layers of information that help you catch issues early rather than discovering them when they’ve already escalated. Thermal imaging picks up heat signatures that indicate stressed vegetation, underground water leaks, vermin movement or potential fire risks, while multispectral sensors analyse multiple light bands to provide a true picture of plant health, chlorophyll content and disease spread. Together, these technologies offer a level of clarity and insight that supports smarter planning and better outcomes.
But detection is only half the equation. Effective summer management also relies on the ability to apply treatments accurately. This is where our GPS-guided spray drones make a powerful difference. Modern aerial spraying is far more advanced than it used to be. With high-precision RTK GPS systems, our drones follow perfectly mapped spray paths that ensure even coverage without overlap or missed patches. This precision reduces drift, eliminates wasted chemical and delivers consistent results even across steep or irregular terrain. It’s a cleaner, more efficient approach that respects both your budget and your land.
Summer readiness demands a full-cycle approach, and the combination of thermal, multispectral and GPS spraying provides just that. We begin by surveying the land, identifying issues, mapping problem zones and then treating them with accuracy and care. Whether the challenge is gorse, thistles, heat-stressed canopy, pest pressure or vegetation build-up that contributes to fire risk, these technologies work together to highlight the problem and address it quickly.
At Rencon Air & Land, our philosophy has always been simple: “Boots on the Ground, Eyes in the Sky.” Our team blends drone technology with real-world agricultural and forestry knowledge, ensuring that every job is tailored to the conditions, the season and the unique needs of each client. We operate across Victoria, New South Wales, South Australia and Queensland, offering aerial spraying, ground spraying, LiDAR modelling, thermal and multispectral mapping and a wide range of surveying and fire-mitigation services.
With summer fast approaching, preparation is everything. November through February is a busy period for land management, and many operators now include aerial mapping and multispectral assessments as a standard part of their seasonal planning. Booking early means you can stay ahead of emerging issues, reduce waste, strengthen crop or pasture resilience and protect the long-term productivity of your land.
If you’re ready to take a smarter, safer and more sustainable approach to summer land care, Rencon Air & Land is here to support you. Get in touch to book your summer survey, mapping or aerial spraying today, and let’s ensure your property is ready for whatever the season brings.
