Soil Survey and Sampling

  

GroundTruth can complete a multitude of field survey and sampling tasks.  The below examples are just a taste.

Soil surveys

Soil surveys are a speciality.  We deliver soil surveys of chemical, physical and biological characteristics of soils from surface soils to deep soils. 

Soil surveys are key to delivering the best

  • Development of new lands for irrigation, or
  • Checks on crop performance variations
  • Defining the best location for dams
  • Solutions for rehabilitation

Soil Sampling and Soil Analysis

If you need specialist assessments done of salinity, carbon or any other soil attribute we will Groundtruth it !

When it comes to agronomic sampling to monitor the soil conditions of your land, you need rapid assessment to a shallow depth.  Using push-tubes and our light weight 4WD rigs, GroundTruth can access difficult sites and collect samples quickly and accurately.  The collected data can be used to create soil maps and management plans.
