> Plants have spectral signatures which can be identified with those 5 bands.
> RapidEye is the first commercial system offering the Red-Edge band.
> The combination of these five spectral bands is ideally suited to monitor vegetation conditions and to detect growth anomalies.

Ground Cover
RapidEye proprietary information DIN EN ISO 9001 certified15
Ground Cover
> definition: color coded map displaying percentage of ground covered by green leaves when seen from above
> delivery: on a monthly basis during specified time period in color coded map in various formats via WebGIS/ftp/https
> applicability: one of many layers to diagnose yield monitor data, actionable products from ground cover maps:
> generation of management zones> variable rate planting> variable rate fertilizer application> field level yield estimation> scouting
> benefit: shows general field condition and identifies anomalies within field, decision support to improve field productivity, one of many layers to be used for generation of management zones/estimation of yield/variable rate application

Chlorophyll Content
RapidEye proprietary information DIN EN ISO 9001 certified21
Chlorophyll Content
> definition: color coded map displaying the spatial variability of chlorophyll within a field on a relative basis
> delivery: on a monthly basis during specified time period in color coded map in various formats via WebGIS/ftp/https
> applicability: shows spatial variability of N status and other nutrients, decision support for top dress application of N, identifies areas of field affected by disease and/or pests
> benefit: decision support for top dress N application, tells producer about availability of nutrients within field, identifies areas of field affected by disease and/or pests

Soil Brightness
RapidEye proprietary information DIN EN ISO 9001 certified24
Soil Brightness Map
> definition: soil brightness or true color map acquired at time of bare soil
> delivery: at customer specified time in color coded map in various formats via WebGIS/ftp/https
> applicability: displays differences in soil characteristics within a field, e.g. soil color, organic matter, moisture content and texture
> benefit: can be used as one of the input layers to create a management zones, provides general decision support for targeted soil sampling
RapidEye proprietary information DIN EN ISO 9001 certified25
> Field based overview on variability of Crop Status, Chlorophyll and/or Nitrogen content
> Tool to improve decisions for targeted crop scouting e.g. SPAD measurements
> Basis information for generating Nitrogen application maps
> Calibration of field measurements for generation of absolute map products
> Possible indication of variabilities in crop quality for improving harvest management, e.g. protein content
