Egistic, a productive agricultural management system, has announced its partnership with Planet, operator of the world’s largest satellite constellation for Earth images, to help Kazakh farmers, as reported by a news website. Egistic is one of the few Central Asian companies that provide daily satellite imagery related to agriculture to its clients.
Egistic and Planet negotiated the terms of their collaboration for more than two years before finally reaching an agreement for using Planet’s satellite imagery to monitor agricultural fields in Kazakhstan.
Cooperation with Planet significantly improves the efficiency of Egistic’s services for space monitoring of agricultural fields due to high frame rate and high-resolution images three-four meters from the surface.
Zhandos Kerimkulov, Founder, Egistic was quoted saying, “This means that our algorithms analyzing the index of vegetation, nitrogen, chlorophyll and moisture in plants will show better results compared to the past, which in turn, due to timely adopted agricultural measures, increases the yield for the farmers.”
