Yield Prediction

Yield prediction is an important tool for optimizing processes at all levels of agricultural production:

from the yield of a certain field of the farmer
to logistics planning and trading at various spatial levels
all the way to production planning for further processing

Forecasting as early as possible therefore is crucial to enable planning reliability early in the season.

A unique approach is used for all three yield forecasting services: It is the use of Vista’s own physical plant growth model in combination with up to date satellite images and weather data.

Yield Prediction Service at Field Level

Vista’s yield prediction service at field level delivers yield prediction for precision farming. This service is based on the evaluation of the latest satellite data and uses the PROMET plant growth model including latest weather forecasts and long-term weather observations.

Here not only the correct estimation of total yield is important but also that the patterns within one field are predicted correctly in a high resolution of 10 x 10 m.

This information is viable to producers as well as buyers for:

cultivation decisions
contract planning through knowledge of the expected profit margin
effective planning of employment of resources
optimization of harvest logistics
