Advanced soil mapping
for precision agriculture

Terrapix uses advanced EM38 technology to identify within-paddock soil variability for more efficient agricultural production such as variable rate irrigation.

• Identify paddock black spots

• Avoid rotten potatoes

• Improve your yields

An EM38 survey quickly and accurately measures within-paddock soil conductivity at many thousands of individual points. Factors such as soil moisture content, salt levels and soil texture all affect bulk soil conductivity.

Service 1: Soil conductivity map.

 

Service 2: Soil conductivity map with soil descriptions.

EM-soil surveys accurately identify within-paddock soil transitions. We can identity, photograph and describe major soil types within each zone.

Service 3: Research-grade soil property mapping.

Following initial soil conductivity mapping (Service 1) and the identification of major soil transitions (Service 2) we can then supply soil samples to a soil laboratory.

Upon their analysis of soil chemical and textural properties we then implement a non-parametric (Spearman) correlation analysis against soil conductivity at the soil sample sites.

Statistically valid soil property maps are then produced and can include: soil moisture, % sand and clay, and cation exchange capacity amongst many others.
