  • Your own field

    We read the Sentinel-2 pixels inside your field boundary and compare them with your field's own history, so the message is about your field, not your district.

  • Through the monsoon

    When cloud hides the field for weeks, Sentinel-1 radar still shows standing water and the growth trend, and the message says what it could not see.

  • Water and weather timing

    The village forecast and FAO-56 crop-water methods help time irrigation and field checks, week by week.

How each message is computed, and what the satellite cannot see: methods and evidence.
