What is Crop Health?
Crop Health provides insight to understand how crops are performing across all acreage throughout the entire season – leveraging multiple data sources to pinpoint and address problem areas. As a result:
- Detect issues in real time to identify areas to scout, treatment plans, and other inputs
- Get insight into health with multispectral indices, with the ability to dig deeper into performance by augmenting with other data sources, like satellite, weather, soil, and equipment data
- Provide data-driven insights to growers to validate product performance and start selling next season earlier
What is the difference between Sentera's Crop Health products?
Our Crop Health products are designed to meet the specific needs of researchers, product developers, and retail agronomists. In addition, we offer products that include masking and precision aligned orthomosaics.
Our masked crop health products includes masking, which describes measurements and summary statistics representing only pixels classified as vegetation derived from the masking layer.
Our precision aligned crop health products include orthomosaics derived from high-resolution NDVI, NDRE, or RGB imagery captured across an entire field. (Deliverable may vary based on sensor.)
