When information is retrieved, you have to know how to interpret it correctly. Each type of soil PH sensor provides one type of data and that requires different approaches. Therefore, the accuracy of the interpretations directly depends on the skills of the employee. However, not all farmers can afford trained professionals; although, as we see, it is not always necessary.

Online monitoring programs simplify this task. Soil PH values ​​can be obtained for any date and field that is selected. The curves on the graph quickly inform you of the situation and allow you to manage the problem.

Renkeer Crop Monitoring Help with Soil PH

Renkeer Crop Monitoring is a multifunctional application of Renkeer Data Analytics, intended for farmers, insurance companies and traders. The app is constantly updated and improved. One of its latest features is the ability to estimate soil PH (in %) based on the ratio of the volume of water in the soil to the total volume of the soil.

Renkeer Crop Monitoring estimates soil PH at two different levels:

• On the surface (5cm)
• In the root zone (rhizome).

Both are fundamental to the decision-making process. The most important advantage of the application is that it derives the analyzes from satellite data, without the need for physical PH sensors in the ground. These specifications are integrated into a single graph that provides information on crop growth, precipitation levels, and vegetation indices. In this way, the complete analytical picture can be obtained in one place. RENKEER Crop Monitoring displays the curves in the following sequence: vegetation – root zone PH – surface soil PH.

It is not necessary to be physically in the field to be able to regularly check the dynamics, as long as you have a PC, laptop or tablet with an Internet connection. Unlike physical soil PH sensor in the field, satellite-based applications are less expensive and do not require professionals to deploy and maintain.

Renkeer Crop Monitoring provides useful additional data for those involved in the agricultural business. Information about soil PH, along with many other parameters, allows farmers to create elaborate irrigation patterns and schedule irrigation events. Produces an average value for the field and not just the data for a particular point.

Insurance agents can track and compare historical and current soil PH values ​​to make insurance payout decisions.

The list is constantly being updated as we are planning to expand globally. Meanwhile, we offer custom projects all over the world, regardless of the country.

Why is Soil PH Control Important?

A sufficient amount of water is vital for the development of plants and it is the main task of farmers to maintain it. The lack of irrigation causes wilting, since the plants put all their efforts into absorbing the scarce water from the soil with their roots, leaving them with no energy to mature and obtain good harvests. Sufficient humidity, on the other hand, helps plants survive regular stress events, staying healthy and reaching their full development. Excessive watering, meanwhile, causes root rot and cuts off the oxygen supply, ultimately destroying the plant.

As can be seen, if humidity levels are not kept stable, the situation can become unfavourable. Therefore, it is common for farmers to use soil PH sensors to plan irrigation in agriculture, as they are very useful agricultural tools, while online agricultural applications with soil PH functions are efficient, reliable and relatively cheap.

Satellite remote sensing is the perfect tool when it comes to comparing the quantity of inputs or the effort required to use them and the quantity and quality of data they are capable of providing. Its integration into the daily agricultural routine helps improve plant growth by allowing farmers to more effectively manage the risks of excess and lack of water without the need to install physical sensors to measure soil PH.
