Stay Green

1. Description

Measures crop ability to stay as a green growing plant in late-season plant.

This article will cover the 2 analytics:

  • Stay Green from orthomosaic
  • Stay Green from reflectance

Both analytics can be used for field trial (microplot) or production field (field boundaries)

2. Prerequisites

Stay green from orthomosaic:

  • RGB orthomosaic*
  • Microplots or Field Boundaries*

Stay green from reflectance:

  • Raster reflectance map*
  • Microplots or Field Boundaries*

*Mandatory

Delete

Info

The analytics can be used when the plant senescence starts (ex: R5/R6 for corn).

3. Workflow

3.1 Stay Green from orthomosaic

Step 1 - In the "Analytics" tab, search and select "Stay Green from orthomosaic" and click on "LAUNCH".

Step 2 - Select the "RGB " map (1) and the "Field Boundaries" (2) (field boundaries vector, microplot) and click on "NEXT STEP" (3).

Step 3 - Enter the "Grid Size", for microplots skip this step.

Step 4 - Click on "LAUNCH STAY GREEN FROM ORTHOMOSAIC".

Step 5 - Click on "FINISH" to leave the analytics.

3.2 Stay Green from Reflectance

Step 1 - In the "Analytics" tab, search and select "Stay Green from reflectance" and click on "LAUNCH".

Step 2 - Select the "Reflectance" map (1) and the "Field Boundaries" (2) (field boundaries vector, microplot) and click on "NEXT STEP" (3).

Step 3 - Indicate the band names of your reflectance map. A RGB composition is also generated in this analytic, please indicate the name of this new composition (ex: RGB).

Step 4 - Click on "LAUNCH STAY GREEN FROM REFLECTANCE".

Step 5 - Click on "FINISH" to leave the analytics.

4. Status and Progression

Check in the "LAUNCHED" tab that the analytics is in progress.

Aether will notify‍ the user that the analytics results are available.
