The agricultural sector is also benefiting from advances in technology. Through different channels, producers and entrepreneurs monitor and control their crops in order to obtain the best performance.

During the last decades, geospatial and geographic information established itself as one of the main sources of data. Among the most used space missions are Landsat-8 and Sentinel-2. Both missions have standardized information indexes that allow us to obtain the latest information on the selected parcels.

These indices, such as the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and the Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI), provide us with valuable data that reflect the state of the vegetation during the productive cycle. The first one allows us to measure the intensity of radiation that vegetation emits or reflects, while the second reflects the moisture content in plants and soils.

This information allows us, in addition to measuring biomass and evaluating the status and health of crops, to detect water stress early, preventing many of the negative impacts on crops. In turn, if they are analyzed together with the climatic data of the area, it allows us to obtain valuable information on the state of the crops.

The advancement of these technologies allows us to monitor our crops and fields more and more accurately in real time. If you want to know more about these products, do not hesitate to contact us.
