The main asset of an agricultural enterprise is a soil. Growing a good harvest requires careful study of the composition of the soil on the basis of which the crops are grown. Soil assessment begins with the determination of the agrophysical and agrochemical properties of the soil. It is very expensive and not always effective to carry out chemical analysis of the soil of the entire land bank using 3-5 ha scale; it is more expedient to analyze the NDVI index over several years, to identify problem areas of the field and then to examine them carefully. The obtained results of the chemical analysis or measurement of soil compaction (using a penetrometer) can be downloaded to the Cartograms module of the
Soft.Farm
system, which will build a map of the indicators distribution across the field, from one soil sample to another. Thus, you will be able to determine the properties of the soil at any point of the field, which is much more profitable than a net survey. It is no longer a problem to store and search of information upon the nutrient content (N P K and others), mechanical composition or soil moisture as the access to information will be fast, convenient and safe.
