Soil EC 2000XA

About the machine

The Veris 2000XA has many of the proven features of the 3100, but in a smaller, single array configuration. It’s designed for usage with ATV’s (500 cc or larger), and in applications where space is limited, such as vineyards. The wheelbase and coulter-electrode spacing is designed to straddle 30” (76 cm) row crops, allowing EC mapping of emerged crops. With its extendable wings, a deeper EC map is achieved with a second pass over the field.

The rugged welded steel framework and heavy-duty coulter-electrodes are built to handle tough conditions. And it has the features Veris EC systems are famous for—its proven electrical array is free from metal interference, and there is no need to null or calibrate any of the settings.

About the Maps

EC maps relate to soil texture and salinity—a fact that has been verified by extensive scientific research. Where the soil EC map shows the soil changes—you will find a change at that location.

And the mapping only needs to be done once, unless you do significant soil moving. EC maps made a decade apart show the same soil management zones.

The Veris 2000XA generates one map per pass, either a topsoil map from 0-18”(45 cm) or one of the soil profile 0-36” (91 cm). While uses vary, the top layer is often used for soil sample site selection, and the deeper map for variable rate populations and nitrogen management.
