ECOSYSTEM PILLAR · ORBITAL, DRONE & WEATHER INTELLIGENCE

Spot hidden crop stress from orbit, spray only the zones that need it, and verify insurance claims in days.

You cannot walk every row of a 25-acre block or a 1,500-acre FPO cluster every week. Sporos turns 5-day satellite passes and village weather feeds into plain zone maps, targeted drone flight plans, and fast-payout damage proof.

NDVI Crop Stress Mapping & Zone Legend

Rather than overwhelming farmers with raw false-color satellite imagery, Sporos translates Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) reflectance into a plain 3-zone field grid: Healthy Canopy, Watch / Mild Stress, and Critical Stress Zone.

ZONE A · NDVI 0.65 TO 0.85

Healthy Vigorous Canopy

Active chlorophyll photosynthesis and full row closure. No additional spray or booster needed.

ZONE B · NDVI 0.40 TO 0.64

Stressed / Watch Zone

Early moisture dip or mild foliar nitrogen slowdown. Inspect drip lateral pressure or border wind rows.

ZONE C · NDVI BELOW 0.40

Critical Stress Zone

Severe root waterlogging, emitter blockage, or pest hotspot. Queued automatically for scout & drone pass.

Sector B3 (1.375 Acres) CRITICAL STRESS ZONE

NDVI 0.32 · Soil Moisture 31%

URGENT: Clogged drip emitter line + early mite hotspot. Targeted drone spray queued.

Whole-Block Summary (22.0 Acres):
• 9 Sectors Healthy (12.4 Acres · 56%)
• 4 Sectors Watch (5.5 Acres · 25%)
• 3 Sectors Critical (4.1 Acres · 19%)

FEATURE 02 / 04 · VARIABLE-RATE PRESCRIPTION MAPS

Drone-Based Spraying Optimization

Blanket-spraying an entire 22-acre farm because 3 sectors have mites wastes money and douses healthy plants in unnecessary chemicals. Sporos converts the NDVI stress map into a simple two-zone drone prescription map: “Needs Treatment” vs. “No Treatment Needed.”

■ NEEDS TREATMENT (6.4 AC) ■ NO TREATMENT NEEDED (15.6 AC)

68% CHEMICAL & WATER REDUCTION

Prescription Zone Spray: Only 6.4 of 22.0 Acres Treated

The drone’s nozzles automatically shut off while flying over the 15.6 acres of healthy green canopy, activating only inside the Burgundy treatment polygons.

WATER CONSUMPTION: 64 Liters Ultra-Low-Volume (ULV)

CHEMICAL INPUT COST: ₹6,600 Total Chemical Cost (68% Saved)

OPERATION TIME: 28 Minutes Autonomous Flight · Zero Soil Compaction

FEATURE 03 / 04 · CROP-STAGE RISK ALERT CARDS

Hyperlocal Weather Prediction with Crop-Specific Risk Alerts

A generic “18 mm rain tomorrow” forecast doesn’t tell a farmer what to do. Sporos pairs 3×3 km village weather models with your crop’s exact growth stage to issue plain action cards for Frost, Drought / Dry Spell, and Unseasonal Flood / Squall risks.

RISK ALERT 01 · RADIATION FROST NEXT 36 HRS

AFFECTED CROP: RABI POTATO & MUSTARD (TUBER BULKING)

Night Canopy Temp Dropping to 2.4°C (Pala / Frost Alert)

Clear night skies and calm north winds will drop ground-level temperature near freezing between 2:00 AM and 5:30 AM Thursday.

REQUIRED FIELD ACTION TODAY:

Run light evening furrow irrigation before 6:00 PM today. Moist soil retains +2.5°C latent heat and prevents cell-wall freezing.

RISK ALERT 02 · DRY SPELL WINDOW 11-DAY GAP

AFFECTED CROP: KHARIF GROUNDNUT & SOYBEAN (PEGGING STAGE)

11-Day Monsoon Break Forecast Across Block

Root-zone moisture will dip below 42% critical threshold by Day 6 of the dry spell, risking flower drop and hollow pods.

REQUIRED FIELD ACTION TODAY:

Halt top-dress Urea application immediately; apply 2% Potassium Nitrate (13:0:45) foliar spray to lock stomatal moisture.

RISK ALERT 03 · HEAVY SQUALL & LOGGING 48-HR WARNING

AFFECTED CROP: MATURE PADDY & ONION HARVEST LOTS

68 mm Unseasonal Downpour & 45 km/h Gusts

High risk of paddy lodging and standing water in low-lying clay plots from Friday evening through Saturday afternoon.

REQUIRED FIELD ACTION TODAY:

Open corner bund drainage trenches before Friday noon; move cured onion heaps under raised tarpaulin plinths.

FEATURE 04 / 04 · TRUST-BUILDING, FASTER-PAYOUT VERIFICATION

Insurance Claim Automation via Satellite & Drone Proof

When hail, flood, or severe drought destroys a crop, waiting 90 to 180 days for a manual clipboard survey means the farmer misses the next sowing window. Sporos packages time-stamped pre-event and post-event satellite NDVI and drone polygons into an auditable claim packet — cutting insurer verification time to 11 days.

STEP 01 · PRE-EVENT

Baseline Crop Proof

Geo-fenced plot boundary and pre-storm NDVI vigor curve prove a healthy standing crop existed before the weather event.

STEP 02 · WEATHER LOG

Automatic Trigger Match

Matches block weather station rainfall, wind-gust, or frost logs to the exact hour of crop damage.

STEP 03 · POST-EVENT

Damage Polygon

Post-event satellite pass and FPO drone ortho-mosaic calculate exact % of lodged or inundated acreage.

STEP 04 · SETTLEMENT

11-Day Direct Payout

Submits tamper-proof digital dossier to partner PMFBY / weather insurers for direct bank transfer.

REAL CLAIM COMPARISON · KHARIF INUNDATION COHORT

Why insurers and farmers both prefer satellite-verified claims

Eliminates subjective boundary disputes, missing paperwork, and travel delays for remote villages while protecting insurers against fraudulent claims.
