Soil Management Services for Precision Agriculture
Grid soil sampling is a meticulous method of gathering soil samples from a field using a systematic grid pattern. This technique addresses surface soil variability and facilitates precise, data-driven agricultural decisions. By segmenting the field into equally spaced cells, typically 2 hectares in size, and collecting eight sub-samples from each cell, farmers can pinpoint nutrient levels, pH, organic matter content, and soil texture. Such granularity supports site-specific management practices, enhancing both sustainability and productivity. Particularly advantageous in regions with high to medium rainfall, grid soil sampling ensures optimal resource allocation, leading to improved yields. Precision Ag has a fleet of 19 UTV bike sampling units spread across Australia, ensuring prompt and efficient service delivery. This process involves four key steps: planning the sampling, creating a soil pH map, producing a lime application map, and generating a prescription file for tailored inputs. The systematic approach of grid soil sampling not only enhances farm output but also fosters long-term soil health and stability.
