How to organize effective monitoring of crops?

Thanks to the new it-solution, farmers can respond quickly to climate change and preserve future crops.

Today, farmers have many sources and tools that allow them to receive information about the condition of their crops: Satellite images, aerial photography, panoramic images, weather stations, soil analysis, etc. But how do consolidate all these data and carry out qualitative analysis and as a result make the correct management decision? Here you will find AgriChain Scout it-solutions, which we will meet in this review.

AgriChain Scout is a part of the complex online system for agribusiness management — AgriChain, which combines solutions for land bank management, production, monitoring of crops, warehouse management, purchasing and supply of parts, control of work of machinery and repairs, part logistics and finished products.

AgriChain Scout is a system for online monitoring of crop condition, analysis, and dynamic forecasting of yield in the form of web application and mobile application with integration with the 1C accounting system. The main task of the system is to build a culture and business processes for systematic monitoring of crops by an agronomic service or a separate group of scoots, which in real-time assess the condition of crops.

The system allows to collect and analyze information about the condition of crops from different sources (historical, satellite, aerial photos), to automatically plan field surveys, plan individual inspection rules with regard to culture, to detect risks — diseases, pests, and weeds — in a timely manner to make decisions on their prompt elimination and assessment of their economic efficiency, to receive an operational business analysis and reports on the condition of the crops.

“The concept of AgriChain Scout solution development is to build a system of the agricultural survey as one of the main components of the business processes of the agricultural company. The implementation of the decision provides an opportunity to build a system of a survey of crops for each specific company in different variants. It enables two-level monitoring of the condition of crops, namely: The system is configured to report critical events in fields or events requiring organizational or administrative intervention. There is an opportunity to review the consolidated analysis of the plan-fact of performance of the surveys, the current phenological condition of the crops, the presence of harmful objects, the forecast of biological yield, and the general assessment of the condition of the crops. In the future it is planned to use forecast data from the system in budgetary processes, for the planning of elevator and current logistics of products”, — noted CEO AgriChain, Natalia Bogacheva.

Thanks to new technologies and it-solutions, modern agrarians can react quickly to climate change, the emergence of pests, and other risks to crop production. Now you have the opportunity to prevent crop damage, forecast, and save your future crop.
