    Abstract: Enhancing crop performance using a computer coupled to a memory, including receiving a plurality of area of interest (AOI) raster files from a remote sensing device via a network, and generating at least one index raster file based on the plurality of AOI raster files. At least one yield zone is defined within the AOI based on the at least one index raster file, and a hybrid and a seed rate are determined for the hybrid for use in planting in the at least one yield zone. A planting recommendation is generated for the AOI based on the hybrid and the seed rate and is delivered to a planter, wherein the planter is configured to plant the at least one yield zone using the hybrid and the seed rate.
