At the University of Warsaw, the method of “estimating the spatial differentiation of soil moisture in arable land and water stress of plants” has been developed. It will allow to create a special application for farmers.

The method combines meteorological data with information from non-commercial Sentinel satellites created by the European Space Agency. The app for farmers will be created to optimize irrigation on farms through the ongoing work and field tests next year.

The project is implemented by a research group operating at the Center of New Technologies at the University of Warsaw. Its members are also the founders of GeoPulse – one of the spin-off companies of the Warsaw university.
