With this App the growers who have signed a contract for the supply of rice seeds with SIS - Società Italiana Sementi can monitor their satellite field, controlling the state of the crops over time through precision farming techniques.
Precision agriculture is a management strategy for agriculture that aims to optimize production yield by minimizing the amount of resources used, obtaining economic and environmental benefits.
Through this app, IBF Servizi and SIS provide access to vegetation vigor indices calculated from satellite images, allowing farmers to observe the status of the rice fields, monitor crop growth and identify areas with less vegetative development . Starting from this information, the cultivation interventions strictly necessary to optimize the yield can be planned.
Images are used of Sentinel-2, ESA (European Space Agency) satellite equipped with a 13-band multispectral sensor, which guarantees overflight and image acquisition of the same area every 5 days (in conditions of low humidity atmospheric) with an image resolution of 10 meters.
