EOS Crop Monitoring update: track the soil moisture on your fields

MENLO PARK, Calif., June 9, 2020 — (PRNewswire) —   EOS Crop Monitoring, a satellite crop monitoring platform, has launched an extensive update. The presented features function as a multi-faceted tool for farmers, crop consultants, and agricultural retailers helping them make data-driven decisions, cut expenditures, and increase yields.

The key highlights of the updated system include soil moisture management, team accounts, a 14-day weather forecast from a leading weather provider, enhanced zoning, and other minor tweaks that make working on the platform a smooth experience.

Here is a brief overview of the new and updated functions:

Soil Moisture

The product supports an innovative feature, soil moisture monitoring. Farmers don't have to be experienced users of the platform to process information. With two curves displayed on a customized chart, they can track surface moisture and rhizome zone moisture obtained from satellite data. It can seriously improve yield predictions and upgrade farming decisions to a notably higher level of efficiency.

The key advantage of satellite-analyzed moisture: there is no need to buy and maintain expensive sensors. The analysis of current and previous indices back to 2015 assists growers to come up with feasible solutions to soil cultivation and crop treatment. Monitoring precipitation in hot or wet periods, for instance, enables growers to make appropriate decisions on watering fields.

The updated feature of soil moisture monitoring is currently available in the United States, Canada, Brazil, Australia, Argentina as well as in Kazakhstan, Russia, and Ukraine.

Team Accounts

This feature gives an opportunity to organize all digital farming activities in one shared account. A user can join as many Teams as one wants and switch between them effortlessly. With the updated Scouting feature and a shared account, every task automatically syncs with the mobile application account. A user is kept in touch with the latest reports of the Team thanks to the automatic alerts sent directly to email.

14-day Weather Forecast

Understanding that weather data is a cornerstone of success in agriculture, EOS Crop Monitoring introduces the updated feature Weather+. The platform integrates data obtained from aWhere, one of the leading weather providers for growers. It gives the users high-quality information with scientifically vetted agronomic models. Using this update, they can track weather conditions, adjust work plans, and get ready for extreme weather conditions.

With the use of this advanced feature, farmers get credible information for solving predicaments and adjusting the strategy of their business development.

Zoning

The Zoning feature has got a serious update. Now, a farmer can create vegetation maps just with one image or use the images from the last 5 years to get a deeper understanding of the field. The integration of the latest satellite imagery and the most reliable vegetation indices (NDVI, NDRE, MSAVI, and ReCl) allows algorithm to determine the areas for application of fertilizers and variable-rate seeding.

Moreover, one can use Zoning to create tasks for precise soil sampling. This can substantially cut costs spent on chemical analysis.
