🌿 NDVI Calculator

Model SF6-S.001

Normalized Difference Vegetation Index for crop health and biomass.

🌱 NDRE Calculator

Model SF6-S.002

Normalized Difference Red Edge for nitrogen status and crop stress.

πŸƒ GNDVI Calculator

Model SF6-S.003

Green NDVI for chlorophyll content. More sensitive than NDVI mid-late season.

πŸ“ˆ Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI)

Model SF6-S.004

EVI improves sensitivity in high biomass regions and reduces atmospheric and soil background influences using blue band correction.

Standard: 2.5
Red aerosol coefficient
Blue aerosol coefficient
Standard: 1.0

πŸ”¬ Soil-Adjusted Vegetation Index (SAVI)

Model SF6-S.005

SAVI minimizes soil brightness effects in areas with sparse vegetation using a soil brightness correction factor.

L adjusts for vegetation density. Standard: 0.5

πŸ’§ Crop Water Stress Index (CWSI)

Model SF6-S.006

Detect crop water stress using canopy-air temperature differential and vapor pressure deficit for irrigation scheduling.

Typical: -1 to -3Β°C for well-watered crops
Typical: 4-8Β°C for non-transpiring canopy
