Plans
What comes next
Pest alerts first, then weekly advice and the yield comparison, then the other checks. No dates are promised yet.
1 · Being built
Pest and disease alerts
Turn the weather rules from official sources into a weekly check for each plot. Compare the checks with what people see in the field. Only then show warnings. Also add an estimate of how long leaves stay wet, and flag fields that are less green than usual.
2 · Next
Weekly advice
A short weekly note for each plot: the crop's stage, rain against drying, a pest check, and links to the newest farm advice for Koraput from the rice research institute and the weather office.
3 · Next
Yield comparison
Compare each season's greenest point and total greenness, plot by plot. It is a comparison, not tonnes. It becomes useful once the full 2026 season is recorded.
A · Next
Harvest heads-up
Watch for greenness starting to fall from its peak each week, using 2025's dates as a guide.
B · Next
Weak patches inside a plot
No repeat weak patch shows up inside the exact outlines yet. Keep checking each season. The pond fields need sharper photos or drone photos to say more.
C · Soon
Radar that sees through clouds
Flooding, waterlogging and planting dates even in cloudy monsoon weeks, fed into the pest warnings.
D · Soon
Winter crop water
From the pond's area, the drying by sun and wind, and the dry-season rain, work out how many hectares of green gram, black gram or mustard each metre of usable pond depth could water. The depth must be measured.
E · Later
Compare with neighbouring fields
Compare each plot with nearby Nilabadi fields, as the yardstick for yield. Comes with the village-wide view.
Later
Sensors, traps and cameras
A weather station, leaf-wetness and soil-wetness sensors, a pond water-level gauge, and insect traps with cameras that count the catch. They would use the village's electricity and 4G mobile network.
Later
Village-wide view
Extend the crop map and the crop's year from two plots to all of Nilabadi.
Idea
Wider view as a paid service
Looking at other fields or villages could become a paid service for others. Just an idea: nothing is offered yet, and there are no prices or sign-up.
Ongoing
Check the outlines on the ground
Walk the bunds with a phone's GPS (location) to check: is pond field A one field or several? Where is field B's west edge? Is the temple block one person's land?
