IrriWatch
IrriWatch is a satellite-based remote sensing tool that provides high-resolution (10 m x 10 m) daily data to help farmers optimize irrigation and fertilization for more efficient and sustainable crop production. Using satellite imagery combined with the SEBAL model, IrriWatch monitors soil moisture, crop evapotranspiration, temperature, and fertilizer status, particularly in rainfed areas.
