How RGB layers help

Below is how RGB layers help you read the field and choose a next action during the on-site review.

Side-by-side RGB orthomosaic and VARI vegetation index map of the same field

RGB index

Orthomosaic + VARI

The orthomosaic shows your field in true color. The VARI (Visible Atmospherically Resistant Index) uses the same RGB flight to highlight vegetation differences that are easy to miss in a photo alone.

VARI is useful for spotting thin stands, weed pressure, and vigor patterns when you want a quick health read without multispectral capture.

RGB index

Orthomosaic + TGI

TGI (Triangular Greenness Index) estimates greenness related to chlorophyll from RGB imagery. Side-by-side with the orthomosaic, striping and uneven vigor become much easier to see.

Farmers use TGI to prioritize scouting: walk the lighter or hotter bands first instead of covering the whole field the same way.

Recommended action

From stripes to a plan

Dark green areas show powerful, even growth. Stripes and lighter bands mark uneven growth across the field — patterns that jump out on TGI even when the ortho still looks “mostly green.”

Next step: figure out what caused the uneven growth (planting, fertility, compaction, drainage, or another field factor), then work toward getting the whole field as consistently dark green as the strongest zones.
