Abstract: A method is provided for determining soil properties for an area of land, from soil spectrum data. In an embodiment, the method includes receiving soil spectrum data records from hyperspectral sensors that represent a mean soil spectrum of a specific geo-location of the area of land and removing interference signals from the spectrum data records to create soil spectral bands. The method also includes predicting a plurality of soil property datasets based on a partial least-square regression and the soil spectral bands and selecting specific soil property datasets from the plurality of soil property datasets to represent soil properties of the specific geo-location, wherein the specific soil property datasets include property data and spectral band data for spectral bands used to determine the property data. The specific soil property datasets may then be used to generate a crop prescription of recommended hybrid seeds or population densities for the specific geo-location.

Abstract: A method for building and using soil models that determine soil properties from soil spectrum data is provided. In an embodiment, building soil model may be accomplished using soil spectrum data received via hyperspectral sensors from a land unit. A processor updates the soil spectrum data by removing interference signals from the soil spectrum data. Multiple ground sampling locations within the land unit are then determined based on the updated soil spectrum data. Soil property data are obtained from ground sampling at the ground sampling locations. Soil models that correlate the updated soil spectrum data with the soil property data are created based on the updated soil spectrum data and the soil property data. The soil models are sent to a storage for future use.

Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatus are provided for soil testing. In some embodiments, a soil sample quality criterion is determined and associated with the soil sample. In some embodiments a soil characteristic measurement is additionally taken and associated with the soil sample. In some embodiments, the soil sample and its associated data are associated with a container in which the soil sample is placed.
