Our Technology

How We Monitor Farms Using Satellites

Four validated vegetation indices translate satellite imagery into actionable crop health intelligence.

NDVI

Normalised Difference Vegetation Index

What it measures: Overall vegetation health and density, calculated from the differential reflectance and absorption of solar radiation at near-infrared and red wavelengths.
Why it matters: NDVI identifies underperforming zones at any growth stage. Areas with abnormally low NDVI values signal potential pest infestations or disease outbreaks; abnormally high values may indicate weed competition. Early identification allows timely intervention to protect yield.
NDRE

Normalised Difference Red-Edge Index

What it measures: Photosynthetic activity and nitrogen concentration in plant leaves, particularly effective during the mid-to-late growing season.
Why it matters: NDRE detects suppressed or ageing vegetation and is used to identify plant diseases that may not yet be visible to the naked eye. It also supports precise harvest timing decisions, helping farmers maximise quality and yield.
MSAVI

Modified Soil-Adjusted Vegetation Index

What it measures: Vegetation presence in early crop growth stages, minimising the interference of bare soil on vegetation mapping.
Why it matters: MSAVI is especially valuable at crop emergence, when bare soil dominates the field. It enables early-stage variable-rate fertiliser application maps, allowing targeted nutrient input exactly where crops need it most.
ReCI

Red-Edge Chlorophyll Index

What it measures: Chlorophyll content in plant leaves — directly correlated with nitrogen levels and overall plant vigour.
Why it matters: ReCI pinpoints areas of the field where yellowing or leaf fading indicates nitrogen deficiency. These zones can be targeted for supplementary fertiliser application, improving uniformity across the farm and preventing yield loss from nutrient stress.
