Trimble's Soil Information System
Soil Information System™ (SIS) solution, part of Trimble's Connected Farm™, is a revolutionary 3-D soil mapping technology that uses advanced sensors along with intelligent targeting and geo-processing algorithms to produce high resolution, accurate soil and topographic information. By providing a greater understanding of the physical and chemical characterization of the soil, including how inputs move through the soil, SIS enables farmers and their trusted advisors to initiate more effective solutions to resolve the unique challenges of each area of their fields. The SIS solution outputs precise, multi-layer soil models that are more comprehensive than traditional methods used in the industry today. Some examples of maps include: root zone depth, soil texture, plant available water, compaction depth, macro and micronutrient levels, soil nutrient holding capacity, and salt and toxicity concentrations.
