APPARATUS, SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GENERATING CROP NUTRIENT PRESCRIPTIONS

摘要

An apparatus, system and method for generating crop nutrient prescriptions utilizing a portable soil testing apparatus. The portable soil testing apparatus includes at least one soil sensor for identifying soil properties of plurality of soil samples collected within a field zone associated with a GPS location. A computing device in signal communication with the at least one soil sensor generates the crop nutrient prescription for the field zone based on the identified soil properties of the collected soil samples and may further be based on input of various agronomic factors.

1. A method for generating crop nutrient prescriptions with a portable soil testing apparatus, the method comprising:
collecting a plurality of soil samples within a field zone and recording a GPS location of where each soil sample was collected in the field zone; via at least one soil sensor of the portable soil testing apparatus, identifying soil properties of each collected soil sample; via a computing device in signal communication with the at least one soil sensor, associating and storing in memory the identified soil properties of each collected soil sample with the recorded GPS location of where each soil sample was collected; via the computing device, generating a crop nutrient prescription for the field zone based on the identified soil properties of the collected soil samples.
