Mobile Sensor Platform (MSP) for soil Electrical Conductivity (EC) and soil pH mapping in agriculture - 20hrs of use per month
EF 2013-14
Résumé
The focus of this Applied Research Tools and Instruments (ARTI) grant will be for the Eastern Canada Soil and Water Conservation Centre (ECSWCC) of the Collège Communautaire du Nouveau-Brunswick (CCNB) to acquire a Veris Mobile Sensor Platform (MSP) for conducting agricultural industry research using in-field soil electrical conductivity (EC) and soil pH measurement and mapping of agricultural fields.Agricultural producers are increasingly using advanced technologies and sensors to obtain soil information and data for crop management. These technologies are beginning to provide improvements in crop management and input-use efficiencies. One of these new soil sensor technologies that is gaining acceptance is the Veris Mobile Sensor Platform (MSP) for soil EC and soil pH mapping in agriculture. The ECSWCC intends to purchase and conduct an initial evaluation of the utility of a Veris MSP for in-field soil electrical conductivity and soil pH mapping as a research tool for improving crop management and input-use efficiencies.
