In today’s ag retail landscape, every acre counts and every delay costs. Virtual Soil Testing (VST) is a powerful, data-driven solution that helps retailers deliver timely, accurate nutrient predictions that can be used to help retailers prescribe necessary crop input recommendations without the logistical drag of full-season sampling. Here’s how it benefits your business:
- Speed Without Sacrifice
VST uses a mix of your soil samples, reference soil samples and machine learning to generate nutrient estimates across entire fields—fast. It’s ideal when sampling delays hit or when growers need recommendations early to make purchasing decisions. - Scalable, Cost-Effective Service
By reducing the number of physical samples needed while still achieving yield goals, VST helps retailers cut operational costs and boost service margins. - Built for Real-World Agronomists
VST doesn’t replace the human element—it amplifies it. Agronomists feed in real farm data and soil tests, validate predictions, and write custom recommendations tailored to each grower’s goals.
The Bottom Line?
VST turns your agronomy program into a tech-enabled powerhouse. It’s faster, smarter, and field-proven—so you can focus on what matters most: helping your growers succeed, season after season.
