Planetscope data provide opportunities for differentiating crop types, quantifying herbaceous biomass (yields) and productivity.

Crop types
A main use of Planet data in Wales is discrimination of crop types, with this benefiting from the provision of high temporal frequency data and also the new red edge band available on the superdoves.
Crop Biomass
For Wales, estimates of crop biomass (Kg m-2) can potentially obtained using a range of algorithms that integrate the red edge bands (as examples)
Stock counts
Potential exists for counting stock (cattle, sheep), with this enhanced using the SkySat datasets.
Agricultural runoff
