Satellite images can seem complicated, but in Agdir they becomepractical tools. You can see where a field has the greatest potential, wherestress appears first, and where interventions have the most impact. Combinedwith weather, sensors, and journals, satellites become part of dailyplanning—not just reports to review afterward. For family farms, this meansfewer wasted trips, more targeted effort, and higher yield per invested krone.

Satellite in Agdir – From Image to Action per Field

Agdir translates satellite images into actionable recommendations.Red zones show where fertilization or irrigation has the greatest effect; greenzones can often wait until the next treatment. Time series show whetherinterventions work as expected. This makes satellites part of thedecision-making process, not just documentation.

What Satellite Analysis Shows – and Why It’s Useful

Biomass Variation

Green areas indicate good growth; yellow/red areas are struggling.Prioritize actions where the satellite shows potential for improvement.

Stress Detection

Satellites detect stress before it’s visible to the eye, givingearly warnings and opportunities for corrective action.

Development Tracking

Compare images before and after treatments. See if fertilization,irrigation, or spraying delivered the expected response.

Seasonal Trend

Track crop development throughout the growing season. Identifyfields performing above—or below—expectations.

Practical Use of Satellite Data – Five Typical Scenarios

Fertilization Priority Under Time Pressure

When the weather window is short and you can’t fertilize allfields, satellites show which will respond best to extra nutrients now.

Irrigation Prioritization During Drought

When pump capacity is limited, red/yellow zones take priority;green zones can wait.

Treatment Evaluation

Two weeks after fertilization—did the field respond as expected?Adjust rate and timing for next round.

Early Disease Detection

Uneven biomass can indicate disease or pests. Satellite datacombined with weather information gives early warnings.

Planning Next Season

Which fields performed best? Which showed the most variation? Usethe data to improve next year’s planning.

How to Read Satellite Images in Practice

Color Scale and Interpretation

· Green: Strong growth, high biomass

· Yellow: Moderate growth, may respond to treatment

· Red: Weak growth, stress, or deficiency

Patterns That Matter

· Ridges vs. low spots: Dry ridges often appear yellow/red; wetdepressions green

· Edge effects: Zones near water often appear greener than thefield center

· Geometric patterns: Can indicate machine or application errors

Timing and Seasonal Variation

The same color can mean different things depending on crop type andseason. Agdir adjusts interpretation based on crop and timing.

Satellite Combined with Other Data – Where the Value Emerges

Satellite + Weather = Timing

Satellite shows where; weather shows when. Prioritizered zones in safe weather windows.

Satellite + Sensors = Precision

Soil moisture sensors confirm whether red zones are caused bydrought or other issues.

Satellite + Journal = Learning

Compare satellite responses with past treatments. Build knowledgeof what works where.

Satellite + Economy = Profitability

Focus expensive fertilizers and pesticides where satellites showthe greatest potential for improvement.

Getting Started with Satellite Analysis – Gradual and Practical

Step 1: Activate Satellite Layer

Turn on satellite view per field in Agdir to get an initialimpression of variations.

Step 2: Identify Patterns

Mark areas with consistent differences (always green, always red).Note links to topography or soil type.

Step 3: Test Prioritization

For the next intervention, prioritize yellow/red zones first.Document results in the journal.

Step 4: Evaluate Effect

Compare satellite images before and after treatment. Adjustapproach based on response.

Step 5: Build Routines

Use satellite data in weekly planning. Let variations influencetask order and dosage.

Typical Satellite Patterns and Their Meaning

Dry Ridges, Wet Depressions

Irrigation needs vary within the field. Prioritize short intervalson ridges.

Edge Effects Along Drainage Ditches

Better growth along ditches indicates good drainage. Considerexpanding the drainage system.

Geometric Irregularities

Striped patterns may indicate spreader or sprayer issues. Checkequipment and calibration.

Seasonal Development

Compare early and late season. Fields that start slow may have morepotential for additional interventions.

Limitations and Realistic Expectations

Satellites show symptoms, not always causes. Redzones may result from drought, nutrient deficiency, disease, or soil problems.Combine satellite data with local knowledge and other sources for accuratediagnosis.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often are new images available?

Depends on weather and satellite coverage—typically every 3–7 daysduring the growing season.

Can cloud cover ruin the images?

Yes, but Agdir uses multiple satellite sources to reduce thisissue.

Does satellite data cost extra?

No, basic satellite analysis is included in Agdir.

How accurate are the analyses?

Satellites are excellent for prioritization and trend analysis butnot a replacement for field observation.

Summary

Satellite analysis makes it easier to see the big picture. Whenvariations become visible and priorities clear, efforts can focus where theeffect is greatest. Combined with weather, sensors, and journals in Agdir,satellites become a practical part of daily planning—not just reports toadmire.
