Introduction

What is Precision Farming (ANA)?

Precision Farming turns satellite imagery into maps you can actually act on in the field — where to apply nitrogen, how productive different zones of a field really are, and how crop health is trending across a season.

What it does for you

Rather than treating a field as a single uniform block, these maps divide it into zones based on what satellite imagery shows, so you can apply inputs where they're needed instead of applying the same rate everywhere.

  • Nitrogen Recommendation Map — a zone-based nitrogen application recommendation for a specific field and date, built from recent satellite imagery.
  • Pre-season Nitrogen Recommendation — a nitrogen recommendation built from your field's own fertilization history, generated before the season starts rather than mid-season.
  • Soil Productivity Map — zones of relative soil productivity, computed from several years of satellite history, useful for understanding which parts of a field consistently under- or over-perform.
  • Vegetation Index Map — a snapshot of crop health (NDVI or another vegetation index) for a specific date, useful for spotting stress or unevenness across a field.
  • Vegetation Index Profile — the same vegetation-health picture, but tracked as a time series across an entire growing season, so you can see the trend rather than a single point in time.

Why it matters

These maps replace guesswork and uniform blanket treatment with zone-specific decisions grounded in what's actually happening on the ground — which can mean less wasted input, better-targeted applications, and earlier warning when something in a field needs attention.
