The YPSilon (Yield Prediction by Satellite) service continuously monitors the emergence of cereals, corn and oilseeds from space and forecasts the expected crop yield.
The forecasts during the growing season of the crops are constantly updated and refined.
The satellite information is combined with Vista's own models for radiation transfer and plant growth. More than 200 parameters are taken into account, including weather data, soil conditions and topography. This allows biomass growth and plant development to be accurately tracked and predicted. Valid yield forecasts are possible from eight weeks before harvest.
YPS Globe delivers consistent, global wheat yield and production forecasts, helping cut through fragmented data and uncertainty in a fast-moving agricultural and commodity markets.
Vista has been working with satellite data in combination with scientific models of land surface processes and AI for over 30 years to offer customers worldwide digital twins for sophisticated solutions.
Vista's services, particularly in the areas of smart farming and yield forecasting, have been established on the market for years. VariableRain is a system for weekly irrigation recommendations that enables water savings of up to 20%.
