Cover crops play a critical role in enhancing soil health, preventing erosion, managing nutrients, and mitigating climate change through carbon sequestration. Accurate estimation of cover crop biomass is essential for optimizing agronomic and environmental benefits, especially for largescale precision agriculture applications. Despite their potential, estimating biomass accurately and efficiently over large areas remains a significant challenge. This study explores the use of optical multi-satellite imagery to estimate cover crop biomass through an empirical approach based on satellite-derived biophysical parameters and in-situ data. The aim is to integrate these estimations into a precision agriculture service to provide farmers with a turnkey solution that supports better nitrogen management and low carbon practices.
