Productivity map in Precision farming cycle
From Wikiagro.com
Productivity Maps are generated based on NDVI maps from past crop seasons, processed by applying geostatistical techniques and tools.
This objective and automated analysis can compare the production of different zones in the fields and their variability in a single map, which presents productivity levels represented in different colors, blue being the most productive and yellow the lowest.
This is an essential information layer that allows to direct sampling, define management zones, and make site specific management decisions, to optimize the use of crop inputs and improve yields.

Input data
- Farms and fields uploaded to 360
- NDVI generated as part ofthe Base info
- Optionally, it's recommended to send more detailed information on crop history can be sent to [email protected] using this Crop History Template, to fine tune the selection of dates and resulting Productivity maps. This article:Crop history to evaluate field history and variability details the importance of knowing this information when processing productivity maps.
Process
- After requesting PF Cycle, the Productivity map is automatically tasked (no need to request it)
- GeoAgro Services staff selects NDVI maps with crop activity, and processes them to produce the
productivity map, by field.
- Productivity Maps are delivered through 360.
Output
Productivity Maps by field are delivered through farm 360. Next step is to review them with farmer to:
- Validate how it correlates with productive zones in the field
- Understand what imagery dates were used to produce the maps and relate with the field/date context.
