Geo-Surface PowerZoner

Import Your Field Boundary

Import an accurate field boundary in industry-standard shapefile format to get started. PowerZoner displays your field boundary on the map so you can confirm the correct location, then you're ready to fetch satellite NDVI data.

• Industry-standard shapefile format
• Visual confirmation of field location
• Ready to fetch satellite data

Fetch Multi-Year Satellite Data

Automatically download multi-year peak NDVI data from Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites. Access data from 2015 to most recent growing season and preview each year to select the best data for your analysis.

• 10m Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellite data
• Historical data from 2015 to most recent growing season
• Visual preview before processing

Generate Management Zones

Create multi-year productivity zones from your composite NDVI data. Choose from 2 to 10 zones with full control over classification methods.

• 2 to 10 management zones
• Crop Productivity Index (CPI) method
• Use as-is or refine by wetness potential
• Instant visual feedback

Advanced Classification & Adjustment

Fine-tune your zones with advanced classification methods and adjustment controls. You have complete control over how zones are created.

• Multiple classification algorithms
• Manual zone boundary adjustment
• Real-time zone statistics

Topography-Refined Low Productivity Zones

Separate wet-influenced from dry-influenced low productivity areas—a capability unique to PowerZoner.

Typical satellite-based zones lump together all low productivity areas—wet depressions and eroded hilltops—into a single Zone 1. PowerZoner's topographic refinement automatically downloads LiDAR elevation data and lets you split Zone 1 into wet-influenced (high wetness potential) and dry-influenced (eroded hilltops, dry knolls) zones based on terrain analysis. Where LiDAR is unavailable, upload your own elevation shapefile data.

• Automatic LiDAR download (virtually all US, near-full coverage MB/ON/QC)
• Upload elevation shapefile where LiDAR unavailable
• Separate wet vs dry low productivity zones
• Identify areas with high wetness potential
• Identify eroded hilltops and dry knolls separately

Advanced 3D Terrain Viewer

Visualize your field in stunning 3D with management zones draped over terrain. Understand how topography relates to crop performance patterns.

• Full 3D terrain visualization
• Management zones draped over terrain
• Interactive rotation and zoom
• Requires LiDAR or uploaded elevation shapefile

Export Management Zones as Shapefiles

Export your finished zones as shapefiles—the industry-standard format for precision agriculture software, GIS applications, and variable rate equipment. Controllers requiring formats other than shapefile will need to use FMIS or manufacturer software to convert from shapefile to the required format.

• Shapefile format (industry standard)
• Zone attributes included
• Compatible with all major precision ag platforms
• Use FMIS/manufacturer software for controller-specific formats

Variable Rate Prescription Generator

Create variable rate prescription files directly from your management zones. Generate shapefile prescriptions for seeding, fertilizer, and other inputs.

• Zone-based prescription creation
• Custom rate assignment per zone
• Export as shapefile for VRT equipment

Zone-Based Soil Sampling Tool

Import your management zones (currently loaded or from a previous PowerZoner session as KMZ overlay) to guide sample point placement. Manually place sample points for each zone, navigate to and mark each point as sampled, or export sample points as KML for use in your sampling program. Import your sample point KML files for repeatable sampling.

• Import zones to guide sample placement
• Manually place points for each zone
• Navigate to and mark points as sampled
• Export sample points as KML for sampling programs
• Import KML files for repeatable sampling
