Manage soil fertility with SoilCares
Analyse and monitor macro- and micronutrients in soil within minutes – in the field, on the spot and during the growing season.
Smart applications, better decisions
Combine our smart applications with the nutrient Scanner and get on-the-spot insight into soil fertility. Our device and applications are easy to use on your smartphone and based on a cutting-edge big data solution for fast soil analysis.
SoilCares services enable you to analyse macro- and micronutrients in soil quickly and make informed decisions about how to fertilise the soil. Have access to soil data whenever and wherever you want: in the field, on the spot and during the growing season. Start precision agriculture with soil data.
- Soil fertility status: macronutrients, micronutrients and physical parameters
- Crop nutrient needs and fertiliser recommendation
- Data available 24/7 in the app and the AgroCares Portal
How does it work?
From sample to report in about five minutes.
Scan
Scan your soil sample with the AgroCares Scanner.
Upload
Upload the data with the AgroCares Scanner Solutions app on your phone.
Analyse
The data is sent to the AgroCares database and analysed with our prediction models.
Act
Receive your report with the nutrient content and, depending on your licence, fertiliser recommendations.
Turning soil data into agronomic intelligence
SoilCares uncovers the hidden dynamics of soil, revealing the chemical and physical factors that shape crop performance. It detects subtle limitations such as nutrient lock-up, cation imbalances or low organic matter before they affect growth.
Why use the SoilCares Scanner solution?
Reliable
Results based on the AgroCares global soil database and ISO-validated reference analyses.
Cost efficient
Unlimited scans with your licence, no consumables and no laboratory shipping.
Time-saving
A report on your phone within minutes instead of days.
Customisable fertiliser recommendation
Recommendations tuned to your crops, local fertiliser products and market.
Fact-based decisions
Monitor soil fertility during the season and act on data.
In the field
Use it in the field in every calibrated country or region – check the calibrated countries before you order.
Calibration: the foundation of SoilCares accuracy
Every soil is unique, shaped by its parent material, climate, management and organic activity. The SoilCares calibration process transforms raw spectral data into reliable, agronomically valid nutrient information.
Sample collection
SoilCares calibration links NIR spectra to ISO laboratory reference data using chemometric models. Each prediction is based on thousands of spectral data points.
Lab validation
New reference samples, ISO-aligned lab analyses and automated validation pipelines keep the models up to date.
Model update
The calibration models are continuously refined with regional datasets to capture local soil variability and ensure consistent accuracy worldwide.
Improved prediction
Each update receives client feedback and is field-verified to maintain reliability and minimise deviation.
SoilCares licences
From data-only licences to full reports with crop nutrient needs and fertiliser recommendations: SoilCares Bronze, SoilCares Silver, SoilCares Adviser Asia and the SoilCares Starter Package. SoilCares licences can only be used in calibrated countries and regions.
Every licence includes unlimited scans for its duration and runs in the AgroCares Scanner Solutions app. Start with the parameters you need and upgrade when your service grows.
- Unlimited scans during the licence period
- Results in the app within minutes, data in the Portal 24/7
- Combine licences on the same scanner
SoilCares soil analysis is calibrated per country or region. Check whether your area is calibrated before you order a licence.
SoilCares Bronze
12-month soil analysis licence for the AgroCares scanner: seven fertility parameters and a crop-specific nutrient need, available globally.
€1,950 per 12 months
SoilCares Silver
Comprehensive soil analysis licence for calibrated areas: a wider set of soil metrics than Bronze plus crop-specific nutrient need. 1, 2 or…
from €2,400 per year
SoilCares Adviser Asia
Annual soil licence for Vietnam, Myanmar, the Philippines and Cambodia: 8 soil parameters, nutrient needs, a soil correction plan and suitable crops.
from €1,950 per 12 months
One scanner, one app, several licences
The AgroCares Scanner is a portable near-infrared (NIR) sensor connected to the AgroCares databases. Paired with a licence in the AgroCares Scanner Solutions app it determines the chemical composition of your samples on the spot, with the report on your phone within minutes.
Works on the AgroCares Scanner F and Scanner E. Licences can be combined on the same device, so a soil scanner becomes a feed or leaf scanner by adding a licence.
