Redox Bio-Nutrients, ChrysaLabs collaborates for AI-based soil testing tech

Portable AI-based soil health probe to measure 37 soil nutrients and characteristics in real time for producers and agronomists.

Redox Bio-Nutrients has announced that the company has partnered with ChrysaLabs and their cutting-edge soil sampling technology. ChrysaLabs has developed a portable AI-based soil health probe that measures 37 soil nutrients and characteristics in real time for producers and agronomists, replacing the need to wait for traditional lab analysis.

Redox recently incorporated a fleet of ChrysaLabs Probes in their soil testing. The faster soil analysis helps growers get a jump on taking the needed steps to having healthy, productive fields and orchards.

“This exciting technology brings, in essence, lab-level analysis to the field,” said Gifford Gillette, Redox Bio-Nutrients Lead Researcher. “Analysing soil in 30 seconds instead of the current standard of three days provides tremendous value by saving time and expense over the traditional approach.”

Reducing the timing of soil sampling to a small fraction of traditional tests should provide widespread benefits for growers in their efforts to boost sustainability. For example, a spectrometer is estimated to reduce Greenhouse Gases by more than 100 tons of carbon dioxide per year, which scientists say contribute greatly to climate change.
