Welcome to Carbon Ag Technologies

Carbon Ag Technologies is a thriving collaboration between soil and plant improvement company, Carbon Ag, and agriculture data capture and management business, AxisTech, who also are the project developers of an in-ground soil scanning probe.

Together, these creative minds are developing a new vision for soil data collection and management.

Forget about that task of collecting soil samples or scanning paddocks on hot summer days…a new era is emerging. An era of automatic soil and data collection across thousands of sites in each paddock, followed by ongoing monitoring of soil measurement changes. An era of considerable new efficiencies and improved seasonal and long-term farm management decisions.

At the same time, there is potential to prepare for valuable soil carbon sequestration projects and to develop farming systems that are protected against any future environmental regulations.

Taking a look at the new vision – a new era – is easy, because Carbon Ag Technologies manages it all for you under a simple lease arrangement.

Used in combination, the iScan and soil scanning probe deliver a unique soil dataset to optimise in-season and longer-term product applications and soil management strategies, in addition to achieving welcome efficiencies.

iScan deep soil mapping module

The iScan deep soil mapping module is mounted on seeding bars and air carts.

The iScan collects soil samples to a depth of 10cm at selected 25m intervals and performs on-the-go soil pH testing.

Measurements also are collected for electrical conductivity (EC), soil organic carbon, moisture and temperature

Growers can choose to retain a number of soil samples across paddocks for full analysis at a laboratory.

We can then retain half of each sample in our “soil bank’’ as a physical record for farm properties in case of any future environmental regulations. We send the other half of each sample to a laboratory to confirm an Emissions Reduction Fund (ERF) accredited soil carbon measurement.

We produce a range of paddock maps for growers from the data, including for soil pH, EC, carbon and the range of other elements growers can choose to have comprehensively tested, such as nitrogen.

These maps can then be used to identify locations for in-ground installation of the soil scanning probes, which provide ongoing, real-time measurement monitoring to a depth of 30cm throughout seasons.

The unique dataset and paddock maps, which can be combined with other layers of information and management, allow better optimised variable product applications and improved return on investment modelling.
