GeoPard Agriculture

The summer was very productive for GeoPard, here are the release notes, including: •⁠ ⁠Layers Preview in Zones creation •⁠ ⁠Spatially Localized zones for soil sampling, up to 50 zones per field supported •⁠ ⁠Usage of zones and another equation-based map in the Equation-based analytics. It allows to creation complex analytical sequences like NUE calculations based on as-applied, yield, protein data, trial analytics •⁠ ⁠Creation of John Deere Work Plans •⁠ ⁠Subscription for automated import to the exact JohnDeere dataset types (harvest, as-applied, as-planted) •⁠ ⁠You can now use Satellite imagery in Batch Equations analytics •⁠ ⁠Numerous improvements in data storage and rendering Links with demos and screenshots:  https://lnkd.in/er_TAveQ https://lnkd.in/eX9Ajftk

GeoPard participates in the live events Bioboosters‘ (organised by Jamk biotalous | bioeconomy and JAMK University of Applied Sciences, with participation of Valtra Inc. , AGCO Corporation , Neste ) and agriculture related Slush events this week. TONIC Summit is another conference we visiting in Helsinki this week. Looking forward to meeting you all! #agtech #slush

Engineers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison have created affordable sensors to monitor soil nitrate levels in real-time for soil types common in Wisconsin. These printed electrochemical sensors can help farmers make smarter decisions about fertilization, potentially saving them money. “Our sensors can give farmers a clearer picture of their soil’s nutrient levels and how much nitrate is available for crops. This information allows them to make precise decisions on how much fertilizer is needed,” says Joseph Andrews, a UW–Madison assistant professor of mechanical engineering and lead researcher. “Reducing fertilizer use could mean significant cost savings, especially for large farms.” #geopard #precisionagriculture #cropmonitoring # https://lnkd.in/d-wSCxBT

In agriculture, the pursuit of optimal crop yield is a perpetual challenge for farmers worldwide. While conventional wisdom often attributes yield losses to readily apparent factors and adverse weather conditions, there exists a more subtle and elusive phenomenon known as Phantom Yield Loss. #geopard #PhantomYieldLoss #precisionagriculture https://lnkd.in/dV_Xu4En

Fertilizer management is a crucial aspect of successful corn production. Properly calculating fertilizer uptake based on yield dry value ensures that crops receive the necessary nutrients to maximize yield while minimizing costs and environmental impacts.  Fertilizer uptake involves the absorption of nutrients by plant roots from the soil. #Fertilizeruptake #geopard #corn https://lnkd.in/dZ2Eq_82

I GET INSANE 😤 when agro managers tell business owners, "Let's buy drones for monitoring." Seriously? Do you have enough free time to learn how to fly a drone, hang out with all these batteries, charge, and then process multispectral shots? With services like PlanetDAO offering satellite imagery 🌍 at 3.7-meter resolution 🍓EVERY DAY🍓 , so you only need a drone ONCE! To map out your field boundaries with LIDAR. Just rent the service! Today’s call with Dmitry Dementiev from GeoPard Agriculture inspired this mini-rant. He showed me their improved algorithm for processing satellite images with AI to increase quality. And I have a very biased (read: hate) attitude towards drones for unprofitability. This year, I wasted two days of my best ages 😩 with a pilot trying to count seedlings. We barely covered 16 hectares out of 64 for 2 days! Last year, we flew over a hazelnut plantation 🌰 with an infrared camera for... who knows what. Ultimately, I still used EOSDA Crop Monitoring to make a yield forecast (a from 5 to 14% error, not bad for an experiment!). In comparison, drones just don’t stack up to satellite tech — they’re inefficient and, frankly, a waste What’s your take? Maybe someone here is happy with drones? UPD: Dear marketers and bizdevs, There’s no need for me to demonstrate the value of your solutions—I’m into. However, they are simply too costly for the sector in which I operate and most of the real people in. Rather than focusing on demos, I encourage you to explore ways to democratize your solutions and make them accessible to businesses beyond large holdings.

GeoPard has completed a successful PoC of an automated field boundaries delineation model using Segment Anything and classification models.

Now, to have a whole conversation about precision agriculture, you need to speak about Vegetation Index, particularly when you're discussing the role of remote sensing in this form of agriculture. Vegetation is intimately involved with almost every facet of human existence, including the act of breathing, the provision of clothes and shelter, the production of food, etc. #PrecisionAgriculture #geopard https://lnkd.in/ddbxyuwy

In such context, yield monitoring and mapping are considered by many as the most valuable invention that has happened in farming recently. In this article, we’re going to understand yield-mapping and yield-monitoring and their potential in making our farms more efficient and productive.
