Field Alerts

Automated agronomic, operational, and scouting-driven insights for early issue detection

Carbonleap continuously analyzes satellite imagery, hyperlocal weather, crop growth models, scouting notes, and your Farm Service Plan (FSP) to detect meaningful changes in field conditions. When a potential risk, anomaly, or opportunity is identified, the system automatically generates a Field Alert.

Alerts appear under the Alerts tab in the Monitor Farm view and update every time new information becomes available.

What Field Alerts Can Detect

Carbonleap’s alert engine monitors multiple categories of signals:

Agronomic Alerts

Driven by satellite, weather, and growth models:

• Temperature-related stress (cold stress, frost, heat stress)

• Water-related issues (water deficit, moisture stress)

• Growth stagnation during sensitive stages

• Vegetation health declines across NDVI, NDRE, MSAVI, NDMI

Operational Alerts

Driven by weather windows and field conditions:

• Spray application windows

• Weather-driven irrigation timing

• Storm or frost preparedness notifications

Scouting-Driven Alerts

Triggered automatically from structured or unstructured field observations:

• Pest/disease indicators from scout notes

• Visual anomalies (e.g., yellowing, canopy thinning)

• Repeated concerns in the same zone or field

• Voice note analysis (AI detects stress signals in speech-to-text)

Farm Service Plan–Driven Alerts

Farm Service Plans define:

• Expected tasks

• Seasonal milestones

• Client-specific thresholds

Alerts fire when:

• A milestone is approaching

• An FSP activity is overdue

• Observed field conditions deviate from the planned expectations

This ensures alerts reflect your actual operational strategy, not just sensor data.

Alert Card Overview

Each alert card includes:

• Alert Title – A clear description of the detected issue

• Summary – Why the alert triggered based on data inputs

• Date – When the issue was detected

• Affected Area – Zones impacted (if detectable from satellite or scouting input)

• Growth Stage – Context based on the Phenological Calendar

• Severity – Low, Medium, or High

• Recommended Actions – Practical steps written in grower-friendly language

Alerts are designed to be simple, interpretable, and immediately actionable.

Recommendations: Practical Guidance for Growers

Each alert includes a Recommended Action section. This guidance considers data from:

• Current and forecasted weather

• Satellite vegetation signals

• Growth stage sensitivity

• Your Farm Service Plan

• Your recent scouting notes

This allows recommendations to adapt to your crop, your farm, and your management style.

Examples:

• “Irrigation recommended in next 12–24 hours due to declining NDMI and high ET rates.”

• “Scout for mite pressure: canopy thinning detected near sector 3.”

• “Good spray window available tomorrow morning; winds remain below threshold.”

---

Alert Status Management

Each alert can be assigned a status to help you stay organized:

• New

• Acknowledged

• Action Taken

• False Alarm

• Dismissed

• Duplicate

• Known Event

Statuses reduce clutter and help track what’s been resolved across the season.

Search & Filter Tools

Use the controls at the top of the Alerts list to:

• Search for alerts by keyword

• Filter by alert status

These tools help quickly navigate long alert histories.

How Alerts Are Generated (Simple, Grower-Friendly Explanation)

Carbonleap blends several data sources to evaluate field conditions:

1. Satellite Imagery

• NDVI (vegetation vigor)

• NDMI (moisture status)

• NDRE (chlorophyll & nutrient status)

• MSAVI (early-season emergence signal)

2. Weather & Forecast Data

• Temperature highs/lows

• Humidity & dew point

• Rainfall

• Wind speed

• Evapotranspiration (ET)

3. Growth Stage Modeling

Phenological model + GDD thresholds ensure alerts fire only when relevant.

4. Scouting Notes

When users submit notes (typed or voice-to-text):

• AI extracts symptoms, locations, and concerns

• Patterns trigger alerts when risk is detected

• Notes enhance the next satellite/alert cycle

5. Farm Service Plan

Your FSP provides:

• Seasonal timing expectations

• Crop-specific thresholds

• Workflows and planned interventions

Carbonleap corrects or supplements FSP workflows when actual field conditions deviate.

6. Historical Patterns

10-year weather and imagery baselines help determine when conditions are unusual.

You Don’t Need to Configure Anything

Alerts activate automatically for:

• New farms during onboarding

• Newly added fields

• Updated fields after change orders

No setup required — Carbonleap handles everything.

Once the system receives its first satellite, weather, scouting, or FSP input, alerts begin evaluating conditions automatically.

Summary

Field Alerts give growers early visibility into:

• Environmental stress

• Moisture issues

• Growth anomalies

• Pest/disease signals from scouting

• Missed or upcoming tasks

• Operational timing opportunities

Together with weather forecasting, growth stage modeling, and vegetation maps, alerts help growers make better-informed decisions every day.
