Such risk factors, being highly variable in space and time, are difficult to monitor and measure effectively. Scientists are interested in developing a crop disease risk assessment Web tool that would be applicable to all of the Canadian Prairies. While a first model has been developed for a small test site, with this project, H2O Geomatics will produce geospatial data for all the risk factors for the entire agricultural region of the Prairies. H2O Geomatics will use artificial intelligence to unlock the value of this big dataset to assess the potential of disease development. This novel Web tool will go far beyond what is currently available, to allow farmers to efficiently access many different information layers as part of one single platform in near real time.
