TECHNICAL: Cloud-based program OneSoil Pro can be used for more than just creating application maps, as we find out.
The free, basic program version can be used to monitor plant growth in each selected field, relying on satellite images from the Sentinel-2 satellites
and calculating the vegetation index NDVI. The results are used to generate a coloured map with a pixel size 10 times 10m. If you want more features, then you need to register for the Pro version of the web app. You can then test the Pro functions free of charge in up to three fields for two weeks.
This includes generating application maps with control strips, yield analysis and soil maps that also show the sampling points. After the free trial, OneSoil charges an annual fee of €5 to €6 per hectare. This fee is only for the selected fields you have enabled and retrieved the field report.
Field analysis
For the field report, OneSoil analyses the selected field. To do this it employs an AI supported algorithm to search for meaningful satellite images that were taken over the last six years and then uses these to generate a productivity map. The system also creates a soil brightness map and a relief map. The analysis for the field report takes up to 30 minutes per field.
