Problem
Rice farmers often lack comprehensive, real-time data on their crops, leading to inefficient irrigation, suboptimal fertilization, and inaccurate yield predictions. This lack of visibility can result in reduced yields, increased costs, and difficulty in making timely decisions.
Solution
Kuna provides satellite-based monitoring of rice crops, delivering actionable insights on irrigation status, plant chlorophyll levels, yield estimates, and grain moisture content. By analyzing satellite imagery, Kuna identifies areas with water stress, variations in plant vigor, and deviations from target yields. This enables farmers to optimize irrigation, prioritize field scouting, and make informed harvesting decisions to minimize losses and improve overall crop performance. The platform is currently available for rice crops in Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay.
Target Audience
The primary target audience is rice farmers in Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay seeking to improve crop management and optimize yields through data-driven insights.
Features
- Satellite-based monitoring of rice crops, providing data on key indicators without the need for manual field inspections.
- Irrigation monitoring to detect areas with water shortages and optimize water usage.
- Chlorophyll level analysis to identify zones with reduced plant vigor and prioritize scouting efforts.
- Yield estimation approximately 30 days before harvest to understand productivity by zone and plan for future campaigns.
- Grain moisture content monitoring to prioritize harvesting in areas with lower moisture levels, minimizing losses and drying costs.
- Web dashboard to visualize data and track crop performance over time.
