Complex satellite technology is now available to everyone! As a farmer you can monitor your crops throughout the growing season. The website FieldLook.com (MijnAkker.nl in dutch) provides 10 growth parameters related to growth, moisture and minerals:

Growth
- biomass production (kg/ha)
- CO2 intake (kg/ha)
- leaf area index LAI  (m2 leaf/m2 ground)
- vegetation index NDVI

Moisture
- evaporation shortage (mm/week)
- current evaporation (mm/week)
- surplus rain (mm/2 weeks)
- reference evaporation

Minerals
- Nitrogen content in the top leaf layer (kg/ha)
- Nitrogen content in all leafs (kg/ha)

FieldLook is currently available in the Netherlands, Belgium and Russia. WaterWatch is responsible for processing and interpretating the satellite imagery into the 10 growth parameters.
