The factors that drive Soil EC also drive Soil Productivity Soil conductivity testing and mapping is a proven technology that’s been around for decades. Farmers and growers, crop consultants, nutrient suppliers, agronomists and soil scientists around the world use EM/EC soil testing and soil conductivity mapping in conjunction with physical soil testing and vegetation analysis to manage how they choose which areas will produce the best outcomes for a particular crop, how much seed to sow in each specific area according to the soil type characteristics, how much water to give the crop and what nutrients the soil will need […]
