Overview:
In Flanders, Belgium, the extensive use of heavy agricultural machinery has caused widespread soil compaction, which reduces soil quality and limits crop growth. This use case focuses on addressing these challenges through targeted and efficient solutions.

 

Challenges:

• Traditional subsoiling methods treat entire fields uniformly, leading to higher fuel costs and wasted resources.
• Mapping soil properties can help, but current methods are either too inaccurate or labour-intensive for precise soil management. There is a lack of affordable, accurate solutions for soil mapping.
• High variability in soil compaction across fields.
