On the 3rd of May,2019, Odisha witnessed the strongest April cyclone in 43 years. With winds of more than 200 kmph, Cyclone Fani took over 64 lives and affected the lives of over 1.6 crore people in roughly 18,388 villages and 51 towns.
Plant humidity is an important indicator for wildfires monitoring and for defining of possibly dangerous regions. NDWI in comparison with NDVI is more accurate indicator of plant humidity.

Before june 2019, Krishi vigyan Kendra will help Chippy get fields for the proposed study. All the study will be done on these fields. Chippy is planning to take taluk level fields, at least a minimum of 6 farms. Images will be taken from Farmonaut periodically for each stage of crop growth, simultaneously Chippy will work on her data as well.

Spotted bollworm larvae mainly attack bolls, but also feed on squares, shoots and flowers if bolls are not present. If infested during the vegetative state, the caterpillars feed through the terminal buds of the shoots and move downward.
The leaves affected by cotton leafhopper and jassids turn yellowish, then brownish starting from the margins and migrating to the midrib. Leaves gradually show signs of curling before drying completely and shedding.

Black Citrus Aphid affect all citrus trees in all growth stages. The aphids have long piercing mouthparts which they use to suck the sap on shoot tips and young leaves, which leads to distortions of twigs and inflorescences and the curling, rolling or folding of leaves.

The Research collaboration is a 6 months long collaboration (June 2019 to November 2019) and focuses on exploring the Potential of Precision Agriculture Using Geospatial Information For Kharif Cultivation in Kalaburagi District, Karnataka, India.
Its primary symptoms appear during the spring as small grey or brown flecks on young fruits.
As soon as summer starts, these flecks have developed into small, sunken, brown lesions, sometimes surrounded by a conspicuous red halo.
In the early stage of hairy caterpillars have long white hairs coming from the flanks of their body. Their main feed is leaves of mango trees in groups and several other tree species.

American bollworm has been identified to attack more than 180 host plants. These host plants include beans, maize, tomato, legumes etc. It has caused so much damage to the fields and has developed resistance to so many insectides that it has been popularly given the name of a global pest.
Farmonaut’s Database has government approved information about 300+ problems on 100+ crops and 150+ Chemicals (Insecticides, Pesticides, Plant Growth Regulators etc.).

Aphids basically belong to Aphidoidea Family. They are small sap-sucking insects like greenfly and blackfly. However, they are not harmful to crops in early stage or in small or moderate numbers. Aphid’s infest severe damage to leaves and shoots and also causes damage to plant growth.
On this page. all of Farmonaut’s Remote Sensing, GIS, Satellite Imagery based discussions/researches are available.
In this section, the Plant/Crop Related Issues are discussed in detail including their symptoms, prevention remedies, biological and chemical control measures etc.
The symptoms of Alternaria blight usually occur in summer and are depicted by the presence of angular or circular spots of around 4 to 7 mm in diameter. In some bad cases, the spot become 3 cm in diameter.
Angular Leaf Spots are very easy to distinguish since the plants suffering from this develop leaf spots that follow leaf veins. It is caused by bacteria such as Pseudomonas syringae (cucurbits) and Xanthomonas fragariae (strawberries) that survive in seeds and plant debris.
Castor Semilooper achaea janata is widely distributed throughout India. Though castor is the principal host plant for them, it has also been found to be predating on tea, sugarcane, pomegranate, banana, rose, grape fruits, citrus etc.
