Syngenta Interra Scan Soil Mapping Service Allows Growers To Better Understand Soil Health

Syngenta has unveiled its high-resolution soil mapping service, Interra Scan, at the agricultural innovation event Fields of Innovation 2022. The Interra Scan service, which offers precision soil analysis to help growers and agronomists optimise crop nutrition and soil health, will be initially available to continental and Eastern European growers. Interra Scan offers high-resolution soil mapping for up to 27 layers of information, providing growers with precise information on soil health. “Interra Scan produces high-resolution maps accessible by growers’ computers via the Interra Scan platform,” said Mark Hall, Head of Sustainable and Responsible Business EAME. “Its detection technology provides mapping of all common nutrient properties including, pH, soil texture, organic matter, carbon, and cation exchange capacity, as well as elevation and plant water availability – all together, it offers over 800 data reference points per hectare. It is the equivalent of a complete medical check-up for humans, but for soil.”
