S.S.A. are open for cooperation. You do not need to download and install any application to place an order for a one-time quick determination of a parameter. You need to provide us with the following information:
- For each field to be assessed, provide four points with GPS coordinates (points on the field boundaries) (1), or provide a list of fields, indicating their location, display their screenshot (or outlines) so that the fields can be accurately identified (2). If you can find your fields in Google Maps, you can also take their GPS coordinates and send them to us (3);
- Indicate what crop is growing on a particular field this year (the current list of crops in the S.S.A. portfolio can be found here;
- For what period of time do you need the evaluation;
- Which crop parameters you need to evaluate (the current list of crop parameters in the S.S.A. portfolio can be found here;
- If known, provide the date/s of sowing of the crop in a particular field.
You will receive a simple and comprehensive answer to the question you are interested in: for example, the yield by field, its variation within fields, where each field has problem areas; how much fertilizer (if necessary, for example, nitrogen) should be applied to each field separately to obtain the planned yield, and how weather events could and did affect the actual final yield.
If you are an agricultural producer and you need more specific data on crops and fields, you need to fill out a questionnaire that you can find here.
After receiving the application, the S.S.A. team will check the fields in the request and send you their boundaries in Google Maps so that you can check if we have really selected the right fields. In addition, we check if clouds- satisfactory satellite data is available for the fields to be assessed and for the time period in question. If not, we will propose an alternative time period, taking into account the vegetation season. After agreeing and checking all the details, S.S.A. fulfills your order. The lead time depends on the size of the order: for a minimum order, it is 3 business days from the date of approval. When the task is completed, you receive a notification and an invoice for payment. You can see sample reports of S.S.A. here.
