One-time snapshot · 31 Oct 2026 · not updated. This was FarmBot's first look at the fields, made before the exact field edges were marked. It used a rough box around the village and square boxes around each plot. We keep it for reference and will not update it. New to satellite words? Read What the satellite sees.

Roadmap

What comes next

Pest alerts first, then weekly advice and relative yield, then the other satellite ideas. No dates are promised yet.

1 · In progress

Pest & disease alerts

Turn cited weather rules into weekly risk checks per plot, compare them with field scouting, and only then publish scores. Adds a leaf-wetness estimate and unusual-drop flags.

2 · Next

Weekly recommendations

A weekly per-plot note: crop stage, rain vs crop water need, pest check, and links to the newest ICAR-NRRI (National Rice Research Institute) and IMD (India Meteorological Department) Koraput advisories.

3 · Next

Crop comparison score

Peak and season-total greenness per season and plot, as a comparison score. It becomes meaningful once a full 2026 season is on file.

A · Next

Harvest-timing heads-up

Watch the weekly greenness score (NDVI) decline from the peak, with 2025's crossing dates as a guide.

B · Next

Weak patches inside a plot

Track 10 m squares that lag across seasons, check them on the ground, and use them to place the first sensors.

C · Soon

Radar that sees through cloud (Sentinel-1)

Flooding, waterlogging and transplanting dates through monsoon cloud, fed into the pest warnings.

D · Soon

Winter-crop water budget

Pond area, crop water need and dry-season rain give hectares (1 hectare ≈ 2.5 acres) of green gram, black gram or mustard per metre of usable depth. Depth must be measured.

E · Later

Village-field baseline

Compare each plot with neighbouring Nilabadi fields as the comparison baseline. Arrives with the village-wide view.

Later

Sensors, traps & cameras

Weather station, leaf-wetness and soil-moisture sensors, a pond level gauge, and pheromone (scent-lure) traps with camera counts, using the village's electricity and 4G.

Later

Village-wide view

Extend the crop map and calendar from two plots to all of Nilabadi.

Ongoing

Confirm plot boundaries

Confirm the temple plot location and mark both field boundaries so the boxes become real plots.
