How Satellite data can help agro professionals
The Future of Farming
Farming faces many challenges, with unpredictable weather patterns, pests, and diseases making it difficult for growers to optimise their yields. Adding to that, modern challenges like climate change, an increasing global demand for food and soil degradation adds even more pressure on the agro industry. However, advances in technology give farmers access to information that allow them to make data-driven decisions to improve the quality and even the quantity of their crop yields and help mitigate some of these challenges.
Satellites provide high-resolution images of the earth’s surface which are used to monitor crop health, soil moisture and other important agricultural parameters. Satellites can also capture data which is not visible to the naked eye.
This enables farmers to make informed decisions about irrigation, fertiliser application, and other management practices. Improved land management allows farmers to be more proactive as opposed to reactive.
What satellite data is available
True Colour Images
Crop Health / Greenness
Crop Health / Greenness
True colour images show the land as the naked eye would see it from space. This enables an aerial view where trends or patterns may be easier to spot from above. The data is available at 10 metre resolution.
Crop Health / Greenness
Crop Health / Greenness
Crop Health / Greenness
Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) quantifies vegetation by measuring the difference between near-infrared (which vegetation strongly reflects) and red light (which vegetation absorbs). It is used to measure the healthiness of vegetation. The data is available at 10 metre resolution.
Moisture
Crop Health / Greenness
Green Chlorophyll Index
Normalized Difference Moisture Index (NDMI) detects moisture levels in vegetation using a combination of near-infrared (NIR) and short-wave infrared (SWIR) spectral bands. It is a reliable indicator of water stress in crops.
The data is available at 20 metre resolution.
Green Chlorophyll Index
Red Edge Chlorophyll Index
Green Chlorophyll Index
Chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants and is vital for photosynthesis allowing plants to absorb energy from light. The chlorophyll index is applied to calculate the total amount of chlorophyll in plants. This index contains two separate bands:
Green chlorophyll index (GCI) and red edge chlorophyll index (RECI)
GCI's main strength is that it can be used for a wide range of plant species. The GCI is calculated as a ratio of the chlorophyll’s reflectance in the NIR band over the reflectance in the green band.
Red Edge Chlorophyll Index
Red Edge Chlorophyll Index
Red Edge Chlorophyll Index
Red edge chlorophyll index (RECI) takes advantage of a narrow spectral band between the red and the near-infrared (NIR) bands of the plant reflectance range. RECI is calculated using the ratio of reflectivity in the near-infrared (NIR) and red-edge bands.
