Soil EC 3150

About the Machine

The Veris 3150 has many of the proven features of the 3100, but is built on the Mobile Sensor Platform (MSP). This means other sensor modules—such as pH or optical, can be added to the platform. Customers who envision mapping with those sensors in the future can get started using the MSP with EC 3150.

The MSP provides additional flexibility: it can be used in a pull-type or 3-point hitch configuration. Its coulter-electrodes can be moved and wings extended to allow mapping in emerged row crops—or wings removed for vineyard or other narrow applications.

Yet it has the rugged welded steel framework, heavy-duty coulter-electrodes, dual depth arrays, and user simplicity that has made Veris EC systems the worldwide leader in on-the-go soil sensing.

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 3150 generates two sets of maps, a topsoil map from 0-18”(45 cm) and 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.
