Better Soil Decisions with EM, Gamma and Machine Learning

5th April 2025
Proximal sensing methods, particularly the integration of electromagnetic (EM) induction and gamma radiometric surveys, have become invaluable tools in modern agriculture for mapping soil variability and informing fertiliser and soil amelioration strategies. These technologies, when combined with m ... read more

Comparing Soil Sampling Strategies - Machine Learning vs Grid

25th March 2025
Traditional grid soil sampling and machine learning-driven soil sample designs represent two distinct approaches to discovering soil sample locations and density, each with unique advantages and limitations. Grid sampling involves collecting soil samples at regular intervals across a field,typically ... read more

Why Yield Can Vary So Much Within Cotton Fields

8th July 2024
Answering the question: Why does that cotton field yield 3.55 ba/ha less than its neighbour? We have all wondered why yield can vary so much within cotton fields and from field to field. There a some easy answers, too much drainage, not enough drainage, different soil types and so on. Well Gunasekh ... read more
