Farm monitoring for UAE agricultural teams
From irrigated plots to orchards and protected-cultivation sites, a field's conditions can vary over a short distance. Mothmr brings parcel-level satellite observations, weather and connected sensor readings alongside the tasks teams perform. Examples are illustrative; coverage and sensor availability vary.
How it works
- 01
Map your fields
Register each farm boundary to compare readings in the context of the actual parcel.
- 02
Review water and weather context
See time-stamped satellite observations beside hourly weather and connected sensors, with dates and data-quality limitations visible.
- 03
Verify the field response
Route an observation to an inspection or work order and review the evidence returned by the team.
What it covers
Fields and boundaries
Draw a boundary on the map, enter its coordinates, or import CSV, GeoJSON, KML or KMZ starting from a downloadable template. Every proposed parcel is previewed before it is saved, and duplicate, invalid or failed rows are listed with their reasons — nothing is discarded quietly. Saving a field starts preparing its satellite history, with the progress shown on its record.
Crop monitoring over time
Dated series for plant vigour, canopy moisture and a chlorophyll-sensitive reading, each with its latest value, the change since a comparable earlier pass and a recent baseline. A sharp drop is told apart from a decline that persists over successive passes, you choose the window, and the measurements behind every comparison — coverage and usable pixels included — are one click away. A change is a reason to visit, not a diagnosis.
Heat that shows thirst
Landsat 8 and 9 measure the surface temperature of every field. Mothmr compares the field with the open ground around it: a crop with water runs cooler, and a field that has warmed to match its surroundings is worth checking. Readings arrive about every eight days and suit fields of roughly five hectares and larger.
Weather beside the work
Current conditions, the next twelve hours of rain and cloud, a five-day forecast and the past ten days, all for the field’s own coordinates, charted beside detailed tables that show the observation time and the forecast location. Official warnings are relayed when the provider supplies them, and a provider we cannot reach is shown as unreachable rather than as no warnings.
Field sensors
Where a device is connected to a parcel: soil water content and matric potential, soil temperature and electrical conductivity; air temperature, humidity, dew point, leaf wetness, pressure, rain, wind, gusts and solar radiation; water flow, volume, line pressure and valve or pump state; and battery. Each reading shows its units, depth, measurement and receipt times, freshness and quality flags. Read-only: no device is ever sent a command.
Sensors, satellite and work, read together
With a probe connected and its reference range reviewed, prompts can join the signals: low soil water beside a falling canopy-moisture trend, with heat when it applies; low flow or pressure after a recorded irrigation; plants declining although the probe shows water; a planned irrigation after recorded rain. Device faults are kept apart from field concerns, and each prompt sends someone to look — it does not diagnose a pipe or prescribe water.
Work orders and their proof
Turn an observation into a task carrying its field, its person, its priority, its due date, its instructions and the proof it requires, across fifteen kinds of work from irrigation checks and scouting to spraying, pruning and harvest. The crew submits photos and notes from a phone; a supervisor verifies the work or sends it back with a reason. The status lifecycle is enforced on the server, so no screen can skip a step.
What to keep in mind
Satellite observations
Sentinel-2, every few days, free and public. Cloud hides the ground, so some passes produce no usable reading — every reading is shown with its own acquisition date and the share of the field it covered.
Weather
Point estimates for a field's location, not a measurement of variation within it. Official warnings are relayed when the provider supplies them, and an unreachable provider is shown as unreachable rather than as no warnings.
Questions
A useful tool should be clear about what it can do, and where your judgement still matters.
Are satellite observations live?
No. The satellite passes every few days, and clouds can hide the ground. Each reading shows its acquisition date and usable coverage. When a pass is obscured, the last usable reading remains dated and visible. Sentinel-1 radar is not stopped by cloud, so a cloudy week still has a moisture reading.
Does Mothmr diagnose pests or disease?
No. A falling reading, a zone lower than the rest of the field or a low probe value is a reason to inspect, shown with the dates and figures behind it. Mothmr does not diagnose pests or disease, prescribe a product or a dose, or calculate an irrigation amount — the person in the field decides.
How local is the weather information?
Weather is a point estimate for the field’s coordinates, not a measurement within every part of it. Some layers and official alerts need a configured provider. Unavailable information is marked as unavailable.
