Planet Labs Enhances Agricultural Data with Daily Global PlanetScope Insights
by Clarence Oxford
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Mar 14, 2024

In a significant advancement for agricultural monitoring, Planet Labs PBC (NYSE: PL) has announced enhancements to its Crop Biomass Planetary Variable by incorporating daily global PlanetScope data. This enhancement aims to provide agronomists and farmers with cloud-free, analysis-ready data for a comprehensive view of agricultural fields. By merging radar and optical signals, this tool facilitates a deeper understanding of crop health and operational status.

The nature of crop biomass is subject to change throughout the growth cycle due to various stressors and developmental stages. The availability of daily updates on crop biomass is crucial for stakeholders to make timely decisions regarding crop management, scout for potential issues, and plan interventions.

The integration of daily PlanetScope data ensures that users receive a continuous stream of accurate and actionable insights. This allows for more effective detection of and response to agricultural stressors, optimization of fertilizer use, and enhancement of harvest strategies, thereby elevating operational efficiency and output.

Ariel Zajdband, Agriculture Product Manager at Planet, emphasized the dataset's value, stating, "Our Crop Biomass dataset has become a critical resource for farmers aiming to optimize their agricultural practices by providing them with precise and timely information on crop health."

Echoing this sentiment, Planet customer Disagro highlighted the dataset's benefits, especially in regions prone to cloud coverage, and praised Planet's role as a strategic partner in advancing digital agriculture practices through enhanced satellite imagery usability.

With the dataset now accessible through Planet's subscription API and directly integratable into Sentinel Hub's EO Browser-acquired by Planet in 2023-users can leverage this refined agricultural data more efficiently than ever before.
