Business Wire
Planet Labs PBC (NYSE: PL), a leading provider of daily data and
insights about Earth, today announced improvements to its Crop
Biomass Planetary Variable, including the integration of its daily,
global PlanetScope data. Crop Biomass is a cloud-free,
analysis-ready data product for monitoring agricultural fields that
combines radar and optical signals to help agronomists and farmers
better understand the status of their operations.
Crop biomass in agricultural fields is highly dynamic and
changes throughout the growing season as plants grow, encounter
stressors, and approach harvest. Timely and frequent access to crop
biomass data is essential for understanding these dynamics and
making informed decisions regarding crop management, scouting, and
intervention.
Crop Biomass is delivered daily, giving users complete and
reliable data that results in a full time series. Access to this
detailed and timely information can help farmers and agronomists
better detect and respond to stressors such as pests, diseases, or
nutrient deficiencies, optimize their fertilizer inputs, improve
harvest planning and efficiency, and much more.
“Our Crop Biomass dataset has become an important tool for
farmers looking to streamline their operations as it provides
detailed, reliable, and timely crop health data to help with
decision making,” said Ariel Zajdband, Planet’s Product Manager for
Agriculture.
Planet customer Disagro shared, “Crop Biomass is a highly
valuable and complementary service for us and our clients whose
areas of focus are often affected by high cloud cover. Strategic
partners like Planet provide us with the technical support needed
to increase the usability of satellite imagery and bring digital
agriculture practices to our regions under management.”
Crop Biomass is delivered through Planet’s subscription API,
with the option for users to import the data directly into Sentinel
Hub’s EO Browser, which was acquired by Planet in 2023. To learn
how to get started with Crop Biomass, visit our webpage, and catch
the Planet Team at World Agri-Tech on March 19-20, 2024 in San
Francisco.
