The use of soil electrical conductivity mapping by orchardists and vineyardists is still considered to be in the “early adopter” stage, but that number is slowly growing as benefits are better understood, the service becomes more available, and knowledge about how to use technology improves. Soil electrical conductivity measures how easily an electric current flows through the soil. Soil EC responds to the amount of salt in the soil and indicates the soil’s composition of sand, clay, and organic matter. Soil EC is influenced by soil property interactions, such as water content, salinity levels, cation exchange capacity, soil depth, and […]
