Satellite imagery is helping Northern Territory farmers plan their harvests including to predict the equipment and number of staff that may be needed. A three year trial is winding up this harvest and has studied images of mango trees at different stages of growth to help estimate whether farmers are in for a productive season.
The trial involved five commercial growers across seven Top End orchards and is jointly funded by the Territory Government, the Federal Government, and Hort Innovation.
