Use case
Efficient crop water management by remote sensing
Target groups
- Intensive agriculture
- Water manager
- Public authorities
Abstract
Efficient water management is considered a major factor in increasing crop production by up to 70%. Water management currently requires the use of expensive infrastructure and is based on time-consuming point measurements.
Farm/IT uses multi-spectral and multi-temporal satellite data to calculate the extent of cropping area and crop water requirement on a daily basis. This information combined with soil water balance modelling is used to optimise irrigation amount and timing.
01
Optimum
What is the optimal relationship between irrigation water supply and crop yield?
02
Strategy
What is the optimal irrigation strategy for a particular crop species?
03
Timing
What is the optimal point in time for irrigation?
