SERVICE DESCRIPTION

This service involves a vehicle towed sensor that is used in the field to measure electrical conductivity (EC) in the soil at designated depths. This service is designed to be particularly useful for agricultural surveys measuring soil salinity and can cover large areas quickly without needing grounded electrodes.

SERVICE BENEFIT

EM38 mapping can be used to:

• Develop management strategies for poorer performing zones in the field, e.g., variable rate applications of fertilizers, soil amendments or irrigation,
• Assist in infrastructure planning i.e., field or irrigation layout,
• Assist with drainage mapping.
