⚡ We added seasons to the OneSoil web platform
This is really important. Now you can independently determine the beginning and the end of the agricultural season in your region. Writing down crop rotation and analyzing fields has become even easier! Also, if you decide to divide the field into sections, you can now change its boundaries for a specific season.
Also, do not forget to update the OneSoil Scouting app!

⚡Other platform updates
The field size evaluation has become more accurate, now showing its value to the tenth. The field editing tab has changed: you can specify the date of harvest, the average yield and add several crops to the field in one season. There is a way to zoom in to your fields now - just click the "Fields" tab twice. If you hover on gray areas of the NDVI index for the field, it will indicate that there are clouds. And we're showing the NDVI index since 2016 now!

⚡We participated in 3 conferences
On March 1st, one of our founders, Vsevolod Genin, spoke at the Agrohub Nitro Marathon conference in Kiev. He read a report on the field zoning techniques for differentiated application of fertilizers and explained which method we use. Then we went to the SIMA exhibition in Paris. This is one of the largest agricultural exhibitions in the world; we listened to visionary speeches at round tables and carefully studied the hall dedicated to precision farming. And from March 19 to March 20, our team presented OneSoil at the World Agri Tech Summit in San Francisco, another important international forum. Our stand was very popular – we answered hundreds of questions and had about 50 business meetings. Some of them were very promising, we have our fingers crossed and continue to work hard.
⚡ We learned to predict football scores with an accuracy of 75%
While we were doing the OneSoil Map, we found a lot of soccer fields around the world. As a joke, we decided to see how the NDVI vegetation index of different field zones correlates with the results of football matches. For the experiment, we selected 150 fields in Belarus, Ukraine, France, and England – and analyzed 12,589 matches. It turned out that the team that plays mostly on parts of the field zone with a higher vegetative index most often – wins, and the one that is playing on the field zone with a low index – loses.
We are currently developing a mobile app for professional coaches in collaboration with one of the South American's football leagues. This summer we will release the free OneSoil Sports app for all football fans. Read more about it in our article on Medium.
