The German Agricultural Society (DLG) and the company behind the Agritechnica show recently announced the winners of its Agrifuture Concept 2025 awards, set to be present at Agritechnica show. The initiative awards companies who present visionary ideas in agricultural technology.
Five winners were picked from a shortlist of eight nominees, one of which was German manufacturer, Amazone for its SoilDetect system.
Taking a new approach in precision farming, the Amazone SoilDetect system uses a multi-sensor system to capture soil condition and conductivity during cultivations. Through the use of AI this data is combined with satellite maps to provide yield potential maps.
Sensor systems and relevant tractor parameters for SoilDetect.
The multi sensor system on the cultivator measures working depth, field slope, over load protection and position in addition to a four-point system which measures soil conductivity via the soil engaging tines. These measurements in addition to tractor data such as diesel consumption, engine speed, engine load, and forward speed along with soil conductivity and resistivity are then processed using AI algorithms to form a detailed soil map.
Geo-electrical measurement data, soil assessment data and conductivity values (EC values) result in a part-area, site-specific soil map.
This system incorporates satellite, soil assessment, and climate data, as well as farm-specific information. All measurements are georeferenced and stored using AmaConnect where it can then be shared. Based on this data, farmers can make result-based decisions regarding sowing, spraying, fertiliser spreading etc.
SoilDetect can be integrated into all cultivators, provided that they are Isobus equipped.
