How healthy is my soil?

The app helps you assess the soil health of your cultivated soil. You get guidance in performing the app's three subtests, can make an action list to maintain and improve the soil structure and follow up on changes. A good and stable soil structure is the basis for a well-functioning agricultural soil.

THREE SUBTESTS TO CHOOSE FROM

• General questions about the field give you an overview of the field's general status and if there are indications of soil health problems.
• Soil structure test. Helps you get to know your cultivated soil better. Dig a soil pit, take a photo of the soil profile and answer questions that help you interpret what you see.
• Infiltration test. Measure the water infiltration rate in different soil layers.

MAKE AN ACTION LIST The app contains examples of mitigation measures to maintain and improve the soil structure. You can make your own action list for the measures you think best suit each field on the farm.

FOLLOW UP You can export test results from the app and import them back into the app. The app's map feature saves the location where you perform tests, making it easy to find your way back and follow up. You can also email your test results and action list as a PDF to yourself or, for example, your advisor.
