At OptiSoil, we recently conducted a series of EM (Electromagnetic) and Gamma radiometric surveys in an almond orchard - timed precisely before the nut set stage. This early window is crucial, as once the canopy thickens and the gator can no longer… Read more
Our Senior Chemists, Hasitha and Chamansha, recently participated in the Australasian Soil & Plant Analysis Council (ASPAC) Workshop, held from 15th to 17th October 2025 at Southern Cross University in Brisbane. As part of… Read more
Collaborating with The University of Sydney on Baseline Soil Sampling At OptiSoil, we’re proud to contribute to forward-thinking research in soil carbon and land management. Recently, our team completed a large-scale sampling project in… Read more
At OptiSoil, we are currently undertaking an Electromagnetic (EM) and Gamma radiometric survey in Central West New South Wales, supporting the early stages of a new irrigation development. This project is a crucial part of due diligence, ensuring… Read more
At OptiSoil we have been busy over the last few months investing in our lab, with new instruments, processes and people to improve throughput and ensure we maintain quality control. We are moving beyond a boutique soil lab and are poised for… Read more
Proximal sensing methods, particularly the integration of electromagnetic (EM) induction and gamma radiometric surveys, have become invaluable tools in modern agriculture for mapping soil variability and informing fertiliser and soil amelioration… Read more
Traditional grid soil sampling and machine learning-driven soil sample designs represent two distinct approaches to discovering soil sample locations and density, each with unique advantages and limitations. Grid sampling involves collecting soil… Read more
Well for a couple of reasons, it gives a good opportunity to view the whole profile back in the lab and record it so we can go back and look at it in conjunction with the lab analysis. Another reason is so we can sample within the horizons. What we… Read more
