Agworld and PCT Agcloud are proud to announce the integration of Satamap into Agworld. This integration offers Agworld users the opportunity to view the latest Satamap Vegetation Index (SVI) of their farm on Agworld’s web and mobile platforms.


What is SVI?

Satamap Vegetation Index (SVI) is a remote sensing technique that helps identify vegetation and provides a measure of its health and vitality. SVI quantifies vegetation by measuring the difference between near-infrared light (which vegetation strongly reflects) and red light (which vegetation absorbs). Generally, white/lighter colors represent low-density vegetation or bare soil, while red/darker colors represent thicker, healthier crops.


Examples of SVI Imagery Use:

  • Identifying areas of interest for crop scouting

  • Detecting mishaps such as blocked seeding points or miss-sprays

  • Monitoring water-logging (irrigation situations)

  • Managing pests that impact biomass

  • Assessing plant growth stages

  • Evaluating weather effects

This feature is available at no extra cost through all Agronomist subscriptions and for farmers with Plus, Pro, or Enterprise subscriptions. The imagery provided is generally updated every 5 to 6 days. You can check the recency of the imagery of your farm by checking the date stamp on the imported tiles. While clouds can occasionally obstruct images, the latest cloud-free images are available in Agworld within hours of being captured by the satellites.


How to Turn On Satamap:

  • Click on the "NDVI" icon in the bottom right-hand corner of the Maps page on the website, iPhone, or iPad.

Note: You cannot view or save historic layers in Agworld. However, this and a suite of other precision tools are available through PCT Agcloud. PCT Agcloud is a third-party application and requires a subscription fee, which is not included in your Agworld subscription.
