Overview

The integration of Satamap into Agworld allows users to view the latest Satamap Vegetation Index (SVI) of their farms directly on Agworld’s web and mobile platforms.

With this integration, you can access high-resolution imagery that supports better decision-making in crop management, right where you need it—inside Agworld.


What is SVI?

Satamap Vegetation Index (SVI) is a remote sensing tool that measures vegetation health and density.

It works by comparing:

  • Near-infrared light (which vegetation strongly reflects)

  • Red light (which vegetation absorbs)

This difference produces a vegetation index, where:

  • White/lighter colors = low-density vegetation or bare soil

  • Red/darker colors = thicker, healthier crops


How SVI Helps You

Examples of how SVI imagery can be used include:

  • Identifying areas of interest for crop scouting

  • Detecting seeding issues (e.g. blocked points, miss-sprays)

  • Monitoring water-logging or irrigation issues

  • Managing pests impacting biomass

  • Assessing plant growth stages

  • Evaluating weather effects on crops


Subscription & Availability

  • Available at no extra cost with:

    • All Agronomist subscriptions

    • Farmer Plus, Pro, or Enterprise subscriptions

  • Imagery is typically updated every 5–6 days

  • You can check imagery recency by looking at the date stamp on imported tiles

  • Cloud cover may delay imagery, but cloud-free updates are usually available within hours

⚠️ Note: Currently not available on Android.


How to Turn On Satamap

  1. Go to the Maps page (web, iPhone, or iPad).

  2. Click on the “NDVI” icon in the bottom right-hand corner.

  3. The latest SVI imagery for your farm will be displayed.


More Precision Tools

  • Historic Satamap layers cannot be viewed or saved in Agworld.

  • For historic imagery and additional precision tools, you can access PCT Agcloud.

    • PCT Agcloud is a third-party application and requires a separate subscription.


Quick Recap: With the Satamap integration, Agworld users gain valuable crop insights, free with supported subscriptions, and accessible on both web and iOS apps.

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.
