The growing world population and its related ever-growing food demand requires a close monitoring of the agricultural landscape and timely estimates of crop productions. Crop type maps contribute in this effort, so we know what grows where! Unfortunately such maps are not available in many parts of the world. Hence, we need to find a way how to collect this information elsewhere, preferably as early in the season as possible.

Mol, 29 August 2019 – The quality of the potato harvest depends on many factors; obviously the weather conditions, crops protection and adjusted fertilization, but also a correct killing of tops are determinant. By using satellite images in WatchITgrow you can see how green the tops of the potatoes are. Now you can also produce task maps to dose top killing products variably. The new application of WatchITgrow allows a much more effective – and up to 50 percent less – use of chemicals.
