Benefits

By using different sensors, variations in different climatic parameters (temperature, precipitation, humidity, wind, etc.) as well as soil parameters (moisture, electrical conductivity, composition, etc.) can be monitored. Observing these parameters indirectly allows monitoring of yield, soil fertility status, weed growth, disease development, and more. Together with the sensors, CropLab actually enables monitoring of microclimatic conditions in the field in real time, ultimately resulting in more economical production, significant savings in raw materials, and energy consumption.

Alerts

For users whose fields are located in Serbia, CropLab provides notifications and direct access to information from the Plant Health Protection and Information Service (PIS), which deals with plant protection in Serbia. The goal of this service is to provide timely, accurate, and complete information to agricultural producers on the timing, dosage, and selection of preparations for plant disease and pest control.

Benefits

For all fields, users in Serbia can check PIS recommendations for their crops, according to the region in which their crop is located. Through this service, users can compare PIS recommendations with data on the plant protection methods they have implemented in the past few years. In this  way, the user is provided with another form of validation for treating crops in their fields. 

Soil sampling

The agrochemical soil analysis is a very important factor in successful agricultural production. By sampling and analyzing the soil, useful information is obtained about the current state of the soil and how to treat the soil in the future.

Products

NDVI index

NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) is a vegetation index of normalized difference in reflectance. It is the most popular index used to assess plant and crop health throughout the growing season by measuring the difference in spectral channels, the red channel (which vegetation absorbs – has a low value) and the near-infrared (NIR) channel (which vegetation reflects – has a high value in healthy vegetation). Changes in crops can be identified more quickly through the NIR channel than with the visible spectrum, allowing farmers to identify diseases, fungi, and drought conditions (up to two weeks earlier) and respond preventively. The NDVI value ranges from 0 to 1, where a value of around 0 indicates no green crops, while values close to 1 represent dense and healthy green crops. 

In CropLab, the NDVI values of a given point are graphically displayed through a diagram at the bottom of the screen, and on the map, NDVI is displayed using specific colors (Image 4). The yellow color represents an NDVI value of around 0.5, shades of orange and red depict lower NDVI values from 0.45 (to 0), while shades of green represent NDVI values greater than 0.5 (up to 1). 

CHL index

Leaf chlorophyll content – CHL indicates the photosynthetic activity related to the concentration of nitrogen in green vegetation and serves as a measure of crop response to nitrogen application. It is used as an indirect sign of nitrogen levels in fertilization management. Chlorophyll parameter allows farmers/agronomists to detect diseases before they become visible in the field. Early disease detection enables farmers to stop its spread. Compared to the other four biophysical parameters in CropLab, CHL is the most innovative parameter and its application and usefulness are increasing. 

In the CropLab platform, chlorophyll values for a particular point are graphically displayed on the diagram at the bottom of the workspace, and these values are also shown on the map using colors ranging from red (no chlorophyll content) to yellow, to dark green (highest chlorophyll content) – see the image. 

Productivity

Productivity is a product based on a long-term time series of satellite images. The productivity map represents the percentage deviation (positive or negative) of NDVI of any location within the field from the average NDVI value for the entire field. The productivity map is displayed on the CropLab platform with colors ranging from red (30% lower productivity than the field average), through yellow (productivity is around the field average), to dark green (30% higher productivity than the field average). Since the information on productivity is related to a specific field (productivity values are shown relative to the average value in the field), it is not possible to compare productivity maps of multiple fields. 

Since most fields are not equally productive across their entire surface, the productivity service helps farmers determine which parts of the field are less or more productive, enabling them to develop more precise field management strategies and achieve maximum yield. This is also a very useful service for analyzing new fields. Farmers can identify areas of different shapes in the field whose yield was lower in previous seasons compared to the rest of the field. 

Management zone

Management zones provide information about parts of a field where crops are performing better, worse, or average compared to the field’s average, and to what extent. This information is based on productivity. Management zones are separate parts of the field that should be treated differently, i.e., applying different amounts of products/materials (e.g., fertilizers). When using variable rate technology for precision agriculture, it is important to determine which zones farmers or machines should apply certain products/materials to. Otherwise, crops may grow unevenly, leading to lower average quality and yield. Properly determining management zones is the first step in fertilization. Each zone will receive a different amount of fertilizer depending on the type and composition of the soil, terrain, and previous production. CropLab allows automatic definition of three management zones in fields based on productivity based on biophysical parameters obtained from Sentinel data. 

This service enables standardization and maximization of crop quality in the field by applying different amounts of inputs (e.g., mineral fertilizers, herbicides, seeds). This will ensure cost reduction and maximize input efficiency (proper choice of hybrids based on soil fertility information, scattering of mineral fertilizers, reduced use of plant protection products, reduced fuel consumption, and finally reduced soil compaction), as well as more sustainable land management.
