SIS leverages advanced sensors and intelligent targeting and geo-processing algorithms to produce high resolution, accurate soil and topographic information. By providing a greater understanding of the physical and chemical characterization of the soil — including how inputs move through the soil — SIS enables more effective solutions for dealing with the unique challenges of problem spots in the field.
Key Benefits for Farmers
-Understand detailed soil properties for each field, such as soil texture, compaction, root zone depth, moisture retention and availability, and soil fertility.
-View soil analysis for up to the top 122 cm of the field’s surface in 3D.
-Work with your trusted advisor to create variable rate application maps from the soil map to help maximise plant growth.
-Access a robust dataset that drives intelligent irrigation decisions.
Types of SIS Maps
SIS offers precise 3D soil analysis for dozens of physical and chemical soil characteristics including:
-Root zone depth
-Soil texture (clay, sand, coarse fragment content)
-Moisture holding capacity
-Compaction characteristics
-Macro and micro-nutrient levels
-Salt and toxicity concentrations
