Cropwise Protector is a digital agronomic management solution that transforms field data into actionable intelligence, helping growers, agronomists, and consultants make faster, smarter decisions. By combining satellite imagery with georeferenced field scouting, Protector enables precision agriculture at scale.
Key Value Propositions
- Intelligent Management: Optimize inputs and crop performance through data-driven insights
- Agile Decision-Making: Access clear results and historic property data from your mobile device or computer
- Reliable Field Data: Capture georeferenced digital scouting records with offline functionality
Core Capabilities
1. Digital Scouting Methodologies
A Methodology is a customizable library of targets—insects, weeds, diseases, and other crop metrics—configured for specific crops within your organization. Methodologies determine:
- What is being scouted (phenomena like pests, diseases, weed pressure)
- How it's being scouted (characteristics like count per plant, infestation percentage, pressure levels)
- How results appear in the web panel and reports (thresholds for control and damage alerts)
2. Satellite Imagery Integration
Protector integrates with Cropwise Imagery to overlay NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) satellite maps directly onto your field boundaries. This allows you to:
- Navigate directly to crop stress areas using GPS
- Compare real-time field conditions with satellite data
- Prioritize scouting routes based on vegetation health trends
3. Easy Scout Prioritization
The Easy Scout feature uses an algorithm to analyze NDVI imagery and automatically categorize fields by priority:
| Priority Level | Color Code | Meaning | Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| High Priority | 🔴 Red | NDVI trend declining rapidly | Scout immediately |
| Medium Priority | 🟡 Yellow | Moderate NDVI changes detected | Monitor closely |
| Low Priority | 🟢 Green | Stable or improving NDVI | Healthy crop progression |
How Easy Scout Works:
- Filters out low-quality images (cloud coverage >70%)
- Analyzes average NDVI changes over 30 days (Sentinel satellite) or 14 days (Planet satellite)
- Enables efficient route planning for large-scale operations
Platform Ecosystem
Cropwise Protector consists of three interconnected platforms:
- Cropwise Protector Scouting App (green icon) — For in-field data capture
- Cropwise Protector Mobile App (blue icon) — For reviewing data and enabling SMS reports
- Cropwise Protector Web Panel — For comprehensive data analysis and reporting
Platform Comparison
| Platform | Primary Use | Key Features |
|---|---|---|
