You can get a plant health map with a standard (no-NIR) by using VARI instead of NDVI. There’s a whole different conversation about sensors and getting NDVI that I’ll let someone else dive into.
You can use a free flight planning app (DroneDeploy, Groundstation Pro for iPad, Pix4Dcapture) to automatically fly the field and capture imagery. Then you need software to process the data. There are a couple options (DroneDeploy, Pix4D, and more) and you’ll need to figure out if a cloud platform or desktop solution. From there, you’ll get a map you can import into SMS.
One plug for DroneDeploy, the Live Map tool is pretty useful for agriculture: https://www.dronedeploy.com/product/live-map/
(PS I work for DroneDeploy, don’t want this to be an endorsement. Many options for data capture and processing, go get some trials and find what works best for you)
