Satellite & sensors

Spot crop stress before it becomes expensive

Satellite tracks the vigour of every plot, sensors measure the soil up close, and weather completes the picture. You are alerted when an area falls behind.

How it works

  1. You map the plot by walking its boundary: the phone drops GPS points and computes the area.

  2. Sentinel imagery gives vigour (NDVI) and moisture; your probes add local measurements.

  3. Each measurement is translated into plain words: "likely water stress, irrigate soon".

What you gain

Early warning

A drop in vigour often shows from the sky before it shows in the field.

Zone by zone

Split the plot by crop and follow each zone separately.

Self-service sensors

Moisture, temperature, pH: pair your probes yourself, no technician needed.

Readable in the sun

A comfort zone drawn on the curve: understood at a glance.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to buy sensors?

No. Satellite monitoring works on its own; sensors refine the measurement for those who want to go further.

How often is the plot observed?

As often as satellite passes and cloud cover allow; sensors measure continuously.

Are my plot boundaries shared?

No. Your plots belong to you and follow your account.
