Besides the wealth of weather maps and data that we offer for farmers, we offer the following crop related maps and we plan more to come
The weather data includes detailed precipitation maps with high resolution, precision forecasts, and more
Maps for Enhanced Farm Management
- Leaf Area Index (LAI) Map: The Leaf Area Index (LAI) map provides farmers with insights into the density and health of vegetation cover across their fields. By interpreting LAI values, farmers can assess crop vigor, monitor growth trends, and make informed decisions regarding crop management practices such as fertilization and pest control.
- Above-Ground Biomass (AGB) Map: The Above-Ground Biomass (AGB) map offers valuable information on the quantity of vegetation biomass present in different areas of the farm. Farmers can use AGB data to estimate crop yield potential, plan forage or cover crop harvesting, and optimize nutrient management practices based on biomass accumulation patterns.
- Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) Map: The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) map displays variations in vegetation density and health across agricultural landscapes. By analyzing NDVI values, farmers can assess crop health, detect stress or disease outbreaks, and implement precision agriculture techniques for targeted input applications.
- Soil Moisture Map: Soil moisture maps provide farmers with critical information about soil moisture levels across their fields. By interpreting soil moisture data, farmers can optimize irrigation scheduling, assess drought risk, and improve water management practices to support optimal crop growth and yield.
- Soil Temperature Map: Soil temperature maps depict variations in soil temperature across the farm, influencing seed germination, root development, and nutrient uptake by crops. Farmers can use soil temperature data to optimize planting timing, manage crop health, and implement precision agriculture practices tailored to local soil conditions.
- Topography Map: Topography maps offer insights into the physical landscape of the farm, including elevation, slope, and drainage patterns. Farmers can utilize topography data to assess runoff potential, plan drainage infrastructure, and optimize land use practices for improved water management and erosion control.
- Underground Soil Moisture or Groundwater Map: Underground soil moisture or groundwater maps provide farmers with information about subsurface water availability. By analyzing map data, farmers can optimize irrigation management practices, mitigate drought risk, and sustainably manage water resources to support crop growth and productivity.
- Evapotranspiration (ET) Map: Evapotranspiration (ET) maps depict spatial variations in water loss from soil and vegetation surfaces. Farmers can use ET data to optimize irrigation scheduling, assess crop water needs, and monitor drought conditions to support efficient water use and crop productivity.
- Soil Surface Saturation Map: Soil surface saturation maps indicate the moisture condition of the soil surface, ranging from dry to saturated. Farmers can use these maps to optimize irrigation management, assess drainage issues, and monitor crop health to support optimal crop growth and yield.
