North block, week 1

Watch. Greenness is steady compared with the last four weeks.

Last clear satellite pass: 3 days ago. Rain is not expected for the next 3 days.

Reply 1 if this matches what you see in the field.

On a cloudy week the message says no reliable signal, and nothing more.

The problem

Stress shows on the ground days after a satellite can see it.

Water stress, nutrient decline and early canopy loss can be measured from orbit before they are easy to see from the bund. Most smallholders have no way to get that signal for their own field.

How it works

From orbit to one message you can act on.

  1. We read your field

    Public satellite passes, cloud-masked and measured inside your own field boundary. No sensors and no hardware.

  2. We compare it to itself

    Each field is compared to its own trend, the weather, and the expected curve for its crop and growth stage.

  3. We tell you once a week

    One clear state, act, watch, or no reliable signal, with the reason and the date of the last clear pass, in the language you chose.

Two tiers

Watch for every field. Decide, crop by crop.

Free

Watch

Any field in India.

  • A weekly trend for your field, compared with its own past weeks.
  • Weather for the coming days.
  • An honest no reliable signal when clouds or a small plot mean the satellite cannot tell.
  • Never a prescription: no dose, no product, no irrigation volume.
Crop by crop

Decide

Starting with Nagpur orange in Vidarbha for 2026-27.

  • Irrigation and stress decisions with a time window.
  • Each crop model is reviewed by an agronomist before it is switched on.
  • Questions the model cannot answer go to a person, not a guess.
  • More crops and regions follow belt by belt, only after the same review.

Honest by design

When the satellite cannot see clearly, we say so.

A cloudy fortnight is shown as no reliable signal, never as a healthy field. Every message carries the age of the reading behind it, and what we told you stays on record.

Act

Something needs attention in the next few days.

Watch

Nothing unusual. We keep looking.

No reliable signal

Cloud or a very small plot. We say so instead of guessing.
