Webinar #22: A free google earth engine based webtool for growers to monitor agroclimatic situations in their farms and plan for precision operations.

Presenter: Abhilash Chandel, Assistant Professor and Extension Specialist, Precision Agriculture Technologies and Data Management

February 17th, 2024

01:00 PM - 02:00PM Central Time (US and Canada)

via Zoom (link provided upon registration)

Problem statement: It is difficult for the growers to remotely assess situations in their crop fields pertaining to crop health, weather, and soil conditions. If they do, the sources for this information are highly fragmented and the growers have to surf through multiple websites and sources. Furthermore, these sources may come at a cost.

R&D: We have developed a free webtool accessing from numerous trusted data sources with parameters critical for a grower to assess agricultural situations in their field. This tool provides high resolution satellite imagery over time to reflect on spatial crop health or problems, weather data and forecast for next 16 days, soil climate data, and soil biological, physical, and chemical information.

Impact: This tool is self-guided and does not require specific skillset. This tool can be accessed over computer or smartphone where users can custom generate and store information and plan for field operations with precision from anywhere across the planet, just in minutes. Most importantly, this is a global tool that serves almost all farming communities all over the world. This tool is expected to advance crop producers towards agriculture 4.0 i.e., digital agriculture and improve their quality of life.
