Features

• FIELD MAPPING
  Geolocate the field on the map and draw it. Features will be immediately hooked. You can enable the cadastral map and enter sheet and parcel information.
• SATELLITE IMAGERY
  Consult Sentinel-2 satellite images with vigor, water stress and chlorophyll indices, to assess crop health and plan monitoring activities.
• CROP OPERATIONS
  Register where, how and when crop operations (irrigation, transplanting, treatments and harvest) have been carried out. You can also access phytosanitary products database.
• PRODUCTION LOTS
  Create and assign to each crop its own production lot to improve traceability of operations. A QR code is also generated that allows you to access and share the dedicated web page where you can consult all the information on the product.
• SUSTAINABILITY
  Monitor the economic (yield, production) and environmental (water consumption, input control and farm biodiversity) sustainability indicators of your farm. You can set the level to be reached for each indicator and monitor how the work is going.
• WEATHER FORECASTS

• PHENOLOGY FORECAST MODEL
  Prediction of the number of leaves, flowering percentage and height development of the crop to assess its needs.
• IRRIGATION FORECAST MODEL
  Evaluation of water requirements to carry out irrigation when necessary with the right amount of water.
• FERTILIZATION FORECAST MODEL
  Calculation of the total nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium needs (Kg/ha) required by the crop in order to obtain important suggestions on the doses of fertilizer to be applied.

• DECISION SUPPORT
  Suggest operations to be carried out based on collected data.
• CROP SCOUTING
  Geolocate and register data from crop scouting by using the App mobile: pest and diseas, crop damages, phenology, traps and catches.
• TASK MANAGEMENT
  Create and assign tasks to be done in the farms to your collaborator in real time.
• WEATHER STATIONS
  Virtual weather station included; physical weather stations and sensors can be purchased or integrated, if already present in the company.
• PRESCRIPTION MAPS
  Choose the most suitable vegetation index to draw up the prescription map and carry out a variable rate fertilization.
• MACHINERY
  Register your agricultural machinery, any problems and maintenance carried out. You can also connect them to Agricolus by using Agrirouter.
