Farmer guide to AgriSense analysis

Understand every analysis and what it does for your farm

This guide explains each analysis in simple language. You will see what it checks, how it works, and the practical benefit for your farm decisions.

Start a free analysis

Map the farm

Draw boundaries or upload coordinates. This defines the exact land area we analyze.

Pull trusted data

We combine satellite, climate, soil, terrain, and water data into one clear decision layer.

Get actions you can use

Reports and maps show where to plant, where to protect, and where to invest first.

Core analyses and what they mean

Each module answers a specific farmer question. Together they create a full view of risk, performance, and opportunity.

Crop suitability scoring

How it works: We weigh climate, soil, slope, drainage, and water access to score how well a crop fits each farm.

Benefit: Choose the right crop before spending on seed, labor, and fertilizer.

What to do: Prioritize zones with higher scores and plan trial plots in the top areas first.

Climate and rainfall analysis

How it works: We model recent rainfall patterns, temperature ranges, and humidity to see if conditions match crop needs.

Benefit: Avoid planting in seasons or locations that are likely to underperform.

What to do: Time planting and input schedules around safe weather windows.

Soil health and fertility

How it works: Soil type, pH, organic carbon, and nutrient indicators show how well roots can grow and absorb nutrients.

Benefit: Prevent nutrient waste and boost yields with targeted soil improvement.

What to do: Apply lime, organic matter, or fertilizer based on the soil profile.

Terrain and slope analysis

How it works: Elevation and slope reveal drainage behavior and erosion risk across the field.

Benefit: Avoid costly land preparation in zones that will wash out or flood.

What to do: Use contouring or terracing on slopes and protect low areas with drainage.

Water proximity mapping

How it works: We calculate distance to rivers, canals, and water points to estimate irrigation access.

Benefit: Know where irrigation will be affordable and where it will be too expensive.

What to do: Place pumps, storage, or irrigation lines in the highest leverage zones.

Land cover and use

How it works: Satellite classification shows current vegetation, built areas, and bare land.

Benefit: Detect cleared zones, degraded land, or areas already under cultivation.

What to do: Focus resources on zones that are ready for production or need restoration.

Flood risk mapping

How it works: We combine slope, drainage, and proximity to water to identify flood prone areas.

Benefit: Reduce losses from waterlogging and unexpected flood events.

What to do: Avoid flood basins or plan for raised beds and drainage structures.

Erosion risk mapping

How it works: Rainfall intensity, soil type, slope, and ground cover are used to model erosion exposure.

Benefit: Protect soil and prevent long term productivity decline.

What to do: Use ground cover, contour lines, and vegetation buffers on exposed slopes.

Drought risk monitoring

How it works: Rainfall history, soil water retention, temperature stress, and water access form a drought risk score.

Benefit: Prepare for dry spells before crops fail or water costs spike.

What to do: Plan irrigation, crop choice, or planting windows around drought risk.

Pest and disease risk

How it works: Humidity, temperature, vegetation density, and water proximity indicate outbreak pressure.

Benefit: Act before pests spread and reduce chemical use by targeting hotspots.

What to do: Schedule scouting and early control in the highest risk blocks.

Seasonal crop health trends

How it works: We compare vegetation signals across seasons to detect growth changes and stress trends.

Benefit: Spot slow growth early and protect yield before it drops.

What to do: Investigate zones that decline faster than the rest of the farm.

Spectral indices explained for farmers

These satellite health checks tell you how crops are doing without walking every hectare.

NDVI

How green and healthy are my crops

How it works: Measures greenness by comparing visible and near infrared light reflected by plants.

What the values tell you

0.1 to 0.2 shows bare soil or very sparse plants
0.2 to 0.4 shows young seedlings or stressed crops
0.4 to 0.6 shows moderate growth
0.6 to 0.9 shows dense and healthy vegetation

Farmer benefit: Pinpoint areas where crop health is dropping so you can inspect the exact spot.

EVI

How healthy are dense and lush crops

How it works: Improves NDVI by reducing haze and canopy saturation so thick crops still show differences.

What the values tell you

Best for crops at full canopy like maize, cassava, plantain, and banana

Farmer benefit: Shows hidden variation when NDVI looks flat across dense fields.

SAVI

How are young seedlings doing when soil is visible

How it works: Adjusts for exposed soil so early season monitoring stays accurate.

What the values tell you

Most useful right after planting and in wide row spacing

Farmer benefit: Detect germination issues early before the crop fully covers the land.

NDWI

Do my crops have enough water

How it works: Measures leaf water content to show moisture stress before it is visible.

What the values tell you

High positive values indicate good water content
Low or negative values indicate water stress

Farmer benefit: Detect drought stress one to two weeks before leaves start wilting.

NDBI

Where are buildings, bare soil, or compacted land

How it works: Highlights non vegetation surfaces that do not contribute to yield.

What the values tell you

Useful for detecting construction, land clearing, or degradation

Farmer benefit: Spot problem zones without walking the entire farm.

Monitoring that shows the exact area needing attention

AgriSense AI connects satellite monitoring with optional drone scouting. When indices show stress, drones validate the cause and confirm the exact zone for treatment.

Farmer outcome

Faster detection and targeted action reduces crop loss.

Spectral vegetation indices

These are satellite health checks. They show crop vigor, moisture stress, and canopy density without visiting every plot.

Benefit: Farmers know where to scout and can fix issues early to protect yield.

Drone assisted scouting

Drones provide close up imagery to confirm disease, pests, or water issues in the exact zone flagged by satellites.

Benefit: Faster diagnosis and targeted treatment instead of blanket spraying.

Priority attention zones

Maps highlight which blocks need irrigation, replanting, or pest control first.

Benefit: Inputs are focused where they create the biggest yield improvement.

Agrofinance confidence

Help agrofinance and banks protect investment returns

Suitability scores and monitoring evidence show which farms are prepared for strong yields. Risk alerts and field reports give lenders ongoing visibility into performance so capital is safer and more productive.

Portfolio impact

Reduced default risk with data backed crop performance.

Transparent field evidence

Monitoring maps and reports show how inputs were applied and whether crop health is improving through the season.

Smarter credit decisions

Lending decisions are supported by real land suitability and risk exposure, not guesswork.

Early risk intervention

When stress appears, lenders and extension teams can respond early to protect farmer income and repayment.
