Pinpoint areas of soil compaction and develop suitable solutions – Soil compaction levels can vary throughout a field, so that even fields that appear to be uniform on the surface are in fact quite different beneath the soil. Discover these problem spots and address resulting issues using SIS analysis.
Model variation in moisture holding capacity and adjust irrigation accordingly – SIS allows growers to "look under the hood" to see the soil properties that influence water retention and drainage. This data can be applied to adjust irrigation layout, monitoring, application rates, and schedules to provide improved conditions in distressed field areas.
Revitalize low productivity areas with targeted fertilizer and amendment applications – Even subtle differences in nutrient availability can result in significant differences in quality and yield. SIS offers growers the opportunity to examine differences at a level of specificity not available with any other method of analysis. The resulting soil fertility data makes it possible to target fertilizer and amendment application directly to problem areas.
