Xpertnest’s Solutions Xpertnest estimated soil moisture by combining multiple satellite data sources to improve granularity and provide data at regular intervals.Satellite-estimated soil moisture identified water stress areas at the desired scale, enabling stakeholders to make optimal decisions.The data enabled estimates of historical soil moisture data to predict likely crop yield. Value Delivered Reduced water consumption to improve sustainable use of water resources and energy.20% improvement in crop productivity as a result of monitoring soil moisture.80% saving in time spent field scouting.Reduced amount of farm inputs.
