EOS Crop Monitoring - A New Farm Software For Agricultural

Online Data – The Key To Precision Farming

To simplify field observation, EOS has designed EOS Crop Monitoring – a digital Platform that employs satellite monitoring in order to speed up a farmer’s decision-making so that he does not miss a crucial point of field treatment. Here are some of the features available in the platform:

EOS Crop Monitoring allows the use of the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) for tracking crop health. This index monitors the amount of chlorophyll in plants which makes it possible to obtain information about their condition. When you have higher NDVI values, you have healthier vegetation, since the more chlorophyll available to the plant, the healthier it is.

Important Feature of EOS Crop Monitoring

Another important feature of EOS Crop Monitoring is a Scouting app. It is both a mobile and desktop app that employs digital field maps. While using this app, a farmer is able to assign multiple tasks to scouts in a few clicks. Add a field, drop a pin, set a task. Once the task is assigned, a scout moves directly to the selected location and checks problem areas at the site, inspects pest activity, performs weed management activities etc., immediately making records in the app. This allows inspection of the problem areas only when needed, thereby saving ample time to take necessary preventative actions.

Weather Analytics

By analyzing weather data in-line with the data on plant condition obtained from satellite imagery, farmers can precisely apply irrigation and prevent frost or heat damage. For example, one of the best methods to avoid drought issues is drip irrigation with automatic or manual valve control, thus the farmer can apply the required amount of water to dry areas.

The Strongest Benefit of EOS Crop Monitoring

The strongest benefit of EOS Crop Monitoring is the fact that it is based on satellite imagery. It helps to analyze field conditions or the state of specific areas and extract valuable information on-the-fly, thereby speeding up optimal reaction time as well as making reliable decisions – what crops to plant, when to harvest, how to effectively plan for the next season, what amount of nutrients and fertilizers apply, and many more.

Combining Data

Occasionally EOS Crop Monitoring has to mash various data sets in order to get valuable insights for your fields. For a start, the user is able to compare the performance of his field with the average performance of all fields in the given district. To face this challenge, multiple datasets obtained from all of the fields in your district are compared. For now, such comparisons are only available using the NDVI vegetation index, but in the near future we will expand the analytical opportunities of the Platform by adding new indices.
