Soil analysis and evaluation system

grant

soil analysis and evaluation system that will allow its users to determine soil type

The situation in agriculture has long been complicated around the world and agronomists are looking for ways to make the process of growing crops more efficient. In addition to smart farming techniques and more advanced breeding, the Internet of Things trend is starting to make itself felt in the fields. One of the companies operating in the field is CleverFarm, which connects agricultural sensors to give agronomists a comprehensive picture of the situation in the field. For irrigation and nutrition automation, knowledge of soil type, soil properties and its current nutrient content is crucial to achieve optimised production, efficient use of agricultural inputs or quality maintenance of urban green spaces and sports fields. The aim of the project is to develop and market a soil analysis and evaluation system through industrial research and experimental development. The solution will significantly save irrigation water resources and allow farmers to regularly analyse soil on site, without the additional cost of laboratory testing. The output of the project will be a soil analysis and evaluation system that will allow its users to determine soil type, soil properties and current nutrient content (i.e. in particular elemental and micro-elemental content, etc.) on the basis of cluster analysis. The system will be available in the form of a mobile application that will be linked to the existing CleverFarm solution. The mobile application will be usable by any farmer, anywhere in the world. The mobile phone will act as a means of collecting data, which will then be stored and analysed in the cloud. The results of the analysis will be presented through the mobile phone.
