Soil and Topography Information

Other Applications

Other Applications

Industries that have traditionally relied on interpolating data from soil samples and pits now have a powerful new way of gathering data.  From engineers concerned about levee vulnerability to those interested in enhancing soil carbon sequestration, Soil and Topography Information’s SIS (Soil Information System) can provide fast, efficient, accurate collection of critical data.

 

SIS gives project managers, researchers and technicians the information they need to make fast, accurate assessments of a wide range of landscape features.

Generate 3D models physical characteristics including topography and sub-soil parameters such as compaction, texture and soil type. 

Examine variability in moisture holding capacity across a landscape or on a targeted study-site.

Determine chemical characteristics and develop a complete nutrient and micronutrient profile for target zones.

The Future of Growing

"STI represents the future of wine grape growing. The information provided by STI allows growers to maximize the productivity of their vineyards."
-Gary Patterson, General Manager
Nestor Enterprises

Plant with Confidence

"STI provided a complete in-depth map of our soils prior to planting a new vineyard.  The data they generated will help us manage this ranch for decades to come. I can't imagine planting another vine without using STI's Soil Information System."
-Steve Harrow, Viticultural Director
West Coast Grape Farms
