EOS Crop Monitoring has collected an integrated database of the history of sown areas of Ukraine and weather conditions over the past three years. On its basis, farmers will be able to analyze the condition of the fields and take into account the specifics of a separate plot of land and the district as a whole for planning future work.
Opportunities to apply space technologies in the agricultural sector are implemented as part of a cloud service for monitoring the status of cultivated plants, which provides an operational picture of NDVI throughout the country.
Agrarians can take pictures of the main orbiting satellite missions of our time. Based on them, information on plant health has been recreated for several years, as well as an exhaustive history of what was grown in the fields in the past.
The platform automatically determines the main types of crops. An analysis of satellite images carried out in June by the EOS Platform in conjunction with the Space Research Institute of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine has revealed previously unaccounted winter rape crops in several regions of Ukraine.
“EOS Crop Monitoring plans to become one of the key links for the transition of the Ukrainian agricultural sector to methods of precision farming and gaining key positions in the global export of agricultural products,” said Alexander Sakal, Business Development Director.
The main function of the platform is to monitor the condition of crops using Remote Sensing technology and vegetation indices. In a complex, they analyze the level of reflected and absorbed sunlight and indicate the state of crops with filters of different colors. A good state of vegetation is marked by a saturated green color, while a low level is noted by yellow and red.
In addition to satellite data, EOS Crop Monitoring also provides meteorological information. You can also compare the indicators of individual agricultural territories with the average indicators of the entire region.
