How does SoilCares technology work?
The sensor technology developed by SoilCares uses a global calibration database. In this database the electromagnetic spectrum of soil samples of a large part of the world is stored together with the chemical characteristics. SoilCares Scanner uses infrared (NIR) sensor technology, converting the sensor’s calibration data to the chemical characteristics of the soil. The Scanner service makes it possible to monitor soil fertility during the growing season of the crops. An app on a smartphone displays the soil status within 10 minutes. This Scanner works with a smartphone with associated apps, which are constantly renewed and expanded.
