Project Objectives

  • We were contacted by AHDB to perform soil electro conductivity scanning on a monitor farm for potatoes.

  • The purpose of this was to identify different areas of soil texture and how different cultivation process can have an affect on soil compaction, with the ability to overlay yield maps and access the factors that affected the growth of potato tubers.

Project Conclusion (ongoing)

Small plots of 3.5 ha and large plots of 25 ha were scanned to identify and compare if size of plot and machine has a varying influence.
