METHOD AND SYSTEM TO MAP BIOLOGICAL PESTS IN AGRICULTURAL FIELDS USING REMOTELY-SENSED DATA FOR FIELD SCOUTING AND TARGETED CHEMICAL APPLICATION
METHOD AND SYSTEM TO MAP BIOLOGICAL PESTS IN AGRICULTURAL FIELDS USING REMOTELY-SENSED DATA FOR FIELD SCOUTING AND TARGETED CHEMICAL APPLICATION
A method for precisely applying chemicals targeted by digital maps developed from remotely sensed data, including: obtaining EOS data through a growing season of a crop growing in a field; processing the EOS data to reflectance values, removing error-inducing effects of atmospheric alteration from the processed EOS data; calculating from the processed EOS data a crop performance index that indicates one or more poor performing area of the field; generating one or more maps of the crop performance index to allow a user to determine whether each of the one or more poor performing areas of the field are due to biological pests instead of topographic or soil constraints in discrete locations of the field, guiding the user to the one or more poor performing areas of the field using the one or more maps to allow the user to scout the one or more poor performing areas of the field to confirm and identify the biological pests; and providing guidance for a chemical application at the one or more poor performing areas that were confirmed as having the biological pests. Other embodiments are provided.
