What does this map mean?
Soil OM is a critical soil property. Each % of OM can hold 25,000 gallons of water/ac and mineralize 20-40 lbs/ac of nitrogen. Because it forms slowly over time, it’s an excellent indicator of historical productivity.

Every 1% difference in organic matter results in as much as 25,000 gallons of available soil water per acre.

How can this map be used?
Here’s a partial list of the ways Veris OM maps are being used: directed manure applications, variable seeding, improved nitrogen management, variable irrigation, variable soil herbicides, site-specific gypsum and other amendment applications, yield and crop image interpretation, and more.

Each 1% of organic matter mineralizes 20-40 lbs of N/ac. Crediting soil organic matter for Nitrogen can lead to added profit of $18.75/ac.

When coupled with other soil sensors and topography, the applications for EC data are even more powerful.
Sensor data quality is high, with over 80 points per acre.
Zones of contrasting soil are clearly evident, even in viewing raw sensor data maps.
