Soil sampling needs a modern solution
Farmers extract soil samples from their fields to determine nutrients elements in it, especially, so called macroelements: magnesium (Mg), potassium (K2O), phosphorus (P2O5) and pH.
Determining their levels is a key factor for planning the fertilizing processes of the soil with mineral fertilizers prior to a following vegetation season; without that only more or less proper assumptions can be made.
Currently, the process of analysing the soil uses chemical methods via laboratories, which means, soil needs to be physically taken from the field (using an appropriate method), mixed and passed to a laboratory for further chemical analysis.
Disadvantages of soil sampling:
- Average result usually covers four hectares, which is not “precision farming”.
- The cost of sampling is linear – the more samples you take, the more it costs end users.
- It takes time to receive the results from the laboratory, which matters for winter crops.
Remote soil mapping as an answer to this problem
We offer a service for remote, high-resolution soil mapping using hyperspectral imaging from a plane or satellite.
Hyperspectral camera “sees” much more than a human eye. The data acquired for a hyperspectral sensor is corelated with the soil analysis results from a laboratory. Such correlation is a base for remote soil mapping.
With the service, farmers get:
- High-resolution maps of their field, suitable for precision farming applications.
- Have them quicker.
- At lower cost.
- Replace labor-intensive and error-prone process of soil mapping with an automated one.
Image Acquisition
An airplane mission with hyperspectral instrument over designated field is being held. During that process a given field is being scanned.
Image Processing
Images analysis is being processed. To do so, advanced hard to copy AI algorithms is used.
Field Map
Using the data processed by the algorithm a farmer gains information about the soil composition on his field. Now fertilizing process can be planned based on knowledge.
What we have?
A working prototype validated in 2019/2020 and 2020/2021 season.
Agriculture partners who test and shape the service.
Business partners who act as distributors in Poland and abroad.
Access to hyperspectral data; airborne as well as satellite.
What we need?
We are looking for an investment to accelerate the go to market actions in Czechia, Slovakia and UK.
