Can you recommend a satellite imagery software for identifying pest and disease pressure early?

Yes—if your goal is early detection of pest and disease pressure from satellite imagery, the best software depends on whether you want a turnkey platform or a more customizable analytics stack.

Good options to consider

1. Sentera

• Strong for crop stress detection and high-resolution field analytics.
• Useful for spotting anomalies early and prioritizing scouting.
• Better if you want a farm-focused solution with agronomic context.

2. Planet Labs / Planet Insights

• Very strong for high-frequency satellite monitoring.
• Good when you need to detect changes quickly over large areas.
• Often used with partner analytics tools rather than alone for disease-specific interpretation.

3. EOSDA Crop Monitoring

• Practical and easier to use for growers and agronomists.
• Provides vegetation indices, field zoning, and monitoring tools.
• Good for identifying stress zones that may indicate pest or disease issues.

4. OneSoil

• User-friendly and affordable for many growers.
• Helpful for field scouting prioritization using satellite-derived variability.
• More general stress monitoring than disease-specific detection.

5. Climate FieldView

• Strong crop monitoring and agronomy platform.
• Good for combining satellite imagery with other farm data.
• Often better for broader crop management than very early pest/disease detection alone.

Important limitation

Satellite imagery usually does not identify the pest or disease directly very early. What it can do well is:

• detect stress patterns
• highlight anomalies
• show spread over time
• help you target scouting

For true early detection, combining satellite imagery with:

• drone imagery
• in-field scouting
• weather and disease models
• soil/moisture data is usually much more effective.

My practical recommendation

• If you want the best satellite monitoring for early stress detection: Planet Labs + an analytics layer
• If you want the most farmer-friendly all-in-one tool: EOSDA Crop Monitoring
• If you want high-resolution agronomic insight: Sentera

If you want, I can also recommend the best option by crop type (corn, soy, wheat, orchard, vineyard, etc.) or by budget.
