Agroxchange works with a network of over 300 field enumerators to profile and map farmers in Nigeria, with data output represented as agricultural field boundaries that serve as inputs into the Agroxchange crop monitoring platform.
The Agroxchange crop monitoring platform feeds multispectral satellite images that contain coded information and provide a visual measure of the variability in crop condition with reference to plant chlorophyll activity, nitrogen concentration and plant biomass over a period of time.

NDVI is a vegetable index, which is calculated according to the way a plant reflects and absorbs solar radiation at different wavelengths. The index allows from identification of problem areas of the field at different stages of plants growth from timely response. Pay attention to the areas where NDVI values differ considerably. For example, the areas of field that have an extremely low NDVI rate may indicate problems with pests or plants diseases; and the areas with an abnormally high NDVI signalize the occurrence of weeds.
NDRE is an indicator of photosynthetic activity of a vegetation cover used to estimate nitrogen concentrations in plant leaves in the middle and at the end of a season. It allows you to detect the oppressedand aging vegetation and is used to identiy plant diseases. It also makes it possible to optimize the timing of the harvest.
MSAVI is a vegetation index that allows you to determine the presence of vegetation in the eaely stages of emergence, when there is a lot of bare soil. The index minimizes the effect of bare soil on the display of vegetation maps. Based on the index, you can build maps for differential fertilizer application in the early stage of crop growth.
ReCI is an index of photosynthetic activity of a vegetative cover, sensitive to the content of chlorophyll in leaves. Since the level of chlorophyll is directly related to the level of nitrogen in the crop, the index allows you to identify the areas of the field that have yellowed or faded leaves, which may require additional fertilizer application
