How Satellites Are Making Agriculture More Efficient

Satyukt Analytics Pvt Ltd (Satyukt), an initiative by a pool of multidisciplinary technical professionals teamed up to deliver earth observation data at your doorstep. We have learned diverse agricultural challenges across the globe and believe the R&D of geospatial tools and technologies can successfully face them. But geospatial tools and technologies cannot be successful...

Estimating water budgets to determine the impact of changes in the land-use pattern

Water budget analyses is an approach that emphasis on the transport, storage, and utilization of water on the surface of the earth. Ensuring sustainable water supplies requires knowledge about the movement of water(hydrologic cycle). Water budgets are tools that water users and managers use to quantify the hydrologic cycle. A water budget accounts for...

Estimation of agricultural input requirement at farm scale

Agricultural inputs like fertilizers, water,etc, are components that are added to improve the growth of plants. If not in optimum amounts, these can do more harm than good. Sometimes a spatiotemporal variation of yield is observed even in the same field due to the variation in the physical and chemical properties of soil such...

Helping with production and crop marketing decisions

Know thy-self, know thy competition, and get it right almost every time. Know thy-self, not know thy competition, and get it right about half the time. Not know thy-self, not know thy competition, and get it wrong almost every time As food is one of the paramount need of humankind, a substantial emphasis has...

Make optimal plan for the procurement of land

Land procurement refers to the process by which the private land is acquired for the purpose of industrialization or expansion of infrastructural amenities by providing compensation to the landowners. Procurement of land for different projects should proceed with minimal socio-economic and environmental impact on the local communities. Environmental impacts of land acquisition need to...

Deficit irrigation: It’s time to shift focus from agriculture productivity to water productivity

Accounting for about 70 percent of freshwater withdrawal, irrigation is probably the largest use of water globally. Unlike other uses, only half of the water used for irrigation is reusable. The remaining is lost by evaporation, evapotranspiration, or is lost in transit, by a leaking pipe. With an increasingly scarce water supply, irrigation management...

Satellites can help in saving the vanishing water

An aquifer is a water-bearing stratum that releases water in appreciable amounts. Wells are usually drilled into aquifers to fetch water. Aquifers are one of the most important sources of freshwater. Abstraction of groundwater through excessive pumping at a rate faster than it’s recharging rate will result in the overexploitation or persistent depletion of...
