Cropwise Explorer has introduced the ability to view and analyze soil layer data alongside plant health imagery. This soil data is made available by the United States Geological Survey, and can help when investigating differences within a field. Variables such as soil texture and slope are important factors that can impact crop performance.
To begin viewing the Soil Map data layer, click on the Image Layer dropdown in the Map Controls menu and select Soil Map.
Soil Information will be displayed while hovering over different soil types across the farm. The soil information includes soil texture, slope, and the area that this soil type covers within the current field.
The Soil Map can also be utilized in Side-By-Side to allow for comparison between plant health imagery and soil types.
Click here to learn more about the Side-By-Side comparison tool.
Additionally, the color assigned to each soil type might need to be adjusted to allow for higher visibility or to suit user preference. To change the assigned color, right-click within the applicable soil type, hover over Soil Color, and then select the desired color.
