Solvi Scout — A New Way to Scout Fields in Minutes
Maps created from drone imagery are efficient tools that provide a birds-eye view of agriculture fields, revealing where problem areas might exist. But only being in the field and ground-truthing will tell the full story and the reason behind variations in plant health maps. Scouting the field on foot is a time-consuming task though and there is only so much one can scout by feet, resulting in ...

Soil Moisture monitoring in olives
Californian research has shown that when irrigation is applied above that of rainfall, olive and olive oil yields increase significantly. It is not enough to have the trees survive for a business to do well. In drought scenarios, like those currently being experienced in California, efficient application of water maximizes the benefit of irrigation for olives. Wildeye soil moisture monitoring ...

Cotton and Peanut Plantings Jump Above Expectations
Implications While growers intend to substantially increase acreage of cotton and peanuts this year uncertainty remains. For cotton, the pace of plantings, crop conditions, the pace of exports, and global (i.e. China) inventory levels are key fundamentals to monitor. For peanuts, higher acreage does not mean substantially higher production as crop yields and acreage abandonment may reduce the ...
