Decision Support Services

In Bangladesh and India we run the award-winning GEOPOTATO service together with Mpower and Bayer. 40,000 smallholder potato farmers signed up to receive SMS alerts on when, what and how much to spray against Late blight disease. Satellite data is used to monitor Leaf Area Index as input in the Decision Support Service that calculates infection risk based on a model developed by Wageningen University. Farmers have decreased crop losses by more than 30% through GEOPOTATO.
