Forecasting Plant Production: Accurate GIS-Based Online Yield Estimates Paper Text

Timo Widbom

The management of agriculture and its environmental resources and the origin of foods will become more and more important agricultural factors nowadays. Forecasting harvest is crucial for the food production industry. Using accurate meteorological online data and radar images it is possible to make accurate yield estimates for grain and its quality. Also, real-time geographical information and forecasts are shown via the Web. A user can make a query about a specific variety of grain, soil type, and sowing day and thus obtain information about current yield estimates in a specific location.
