The map allows growers to understand the texture, nutrient and carbon content of their soils in order to optimize nutrition and carbon capture. The methodology used by Interra^® Scan also enables a much-wider operating window for soil scans compared to other soil scanning systems. It is not affected by soil moisture, compaction, crop cover or cultivation state, meaning there are very few limitations to when it can be used.

By providing an accurate baseline measurement of both organic and active carbon in the soil, Interra^® Scan can enable growers to adjust their farming systems leading to long-term soil health benefits.

“Healthy soils can not only improve food production but also mitigate climate change. They have a critical role to play as a natural carbon sink. Investment in precision innovations like Interra^® Scan means growers will be able to avoid treating the entire field in the same way by making informed decisions about exactly what to apply where and how much,” Alexandra Brand, Regional Director of Crop Protection, EAME explains.

How incredible is that? It's great to see digital technologies playing an important role in enabling regenerative agriculture.
