AgWise determines spatially the optimal planting dates and varieties for different cropping systems based on soil and climate variability. This is undertaken by coupling diverse crop models with spatial soil data and historical and seasonal forecast weather data.
Optimizing planting dates and selecting suitable varieties can enhance crop growth, reduce climate-related risks, and improve yield. Proper timing avoids dry spells during critical growth stages, while variety choice affects yield stability. Short-season varieties offer stable yields under drought but lower overall yields, while long-season varieties may yield higher under high rainfall but are more sensitive to dry conditions.
By determining variety suitability for different seasons and optimal planting dates, AgWise helps unlock the full potential of the crop
