GEOSYS France uses high resolution DMC satellite imagery for its advanced precision farming service, FARMSAT. Rapid revisit imagery acquired over European and American agricultural areas during variable crop growth cycles is analysed and delivered to farmers online to provide field level services such as leaf area index (LAI) and nitrogen application maps. Farmers can target resources to localised areas of concern, and reduce excess resources being expended on healthy field areas. The reduction in fertilisers and pesticides results in both economic and environmental benefits.
