Yazbek says they will be working on a two tier system utilising drones, or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, and advanced, high-resolution satellite technology. 

She says their product offerings will cover the pre-plant, emergent, growth and preharvest phases of crop production. Information will enable farmers to make decisions on fertilization, planting specifications, herbicide and pesticide applications, as well as yield potential and estimates.

Clients will have timeous access to online data tailored to their own spatial GIS (geographic information system) profile.
