Comparing RGSI stress maps against soil moisture probes across six fields

Kunda Banda · Agronomist

Over the last cropping season I ran Agririgo's RGSI vegetation index alongside capacitance soil moisture probes on six client fields around Mkushi. Agreement was strongest in the mid-vegetative stage, exactly when a precision agriculture tool needs to earn its keep. Publishing this so other agronomists evaluating agritech data platforms in Zambia have an independent data point rather than marketing claims alone.

Nakuru conditions are different but the stress patterns you describe track closely.
