Towed soil sampler VERIS CE

electrical conductivity

It is a sensor developed to measure soil electrical conductivity. Using this piece of equipment, it is possible to classify the areas according to their physicochemical properties and export them to a map. Once the maps are created, it is possible to collect soil samples easier and smartly. GENERAL FEATURES CENTRAL UNIT It provides and receives information. In addition, it communicates with Topper 4500. OPERATION The energy supply from the sensing disks to the cable is performed by a central pin installed on the axle. TOPPER CONTROLLER Veris uses the Topper 4500 controller to create electrical conductivity mapping exported in shapefile format to be used in several software programs. Topper 4500 also works as DGPS and georeferences the area, ensuring the reliability of the data collected and the definition of management zones. SENSING DISKS Sensing disks 2 and 5 supply the energy. Sensing disks 1 and 6 are the receivers, and they read the depth from 0 to 90 cm. Sensing disks 3 and 4 are the receivers, and they read the depth from 0 to 30 cm. CORRELATION OF ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY The use of soil electrical conductivity is an important tool for decision-making when applying Precision Agriculture. The information provided by Veris is correlated with factors that interfere with productivity, among them soil texture and its physical-chemical properties. Thereby, Veris becomes a great alternative to create management zones for soil analysis.
