Welcome to soil photometry’s documentation!

Just ideas and stuff that’s been worked out

Goals

The sensor should be able to detect the following attributes:

  • % water
  • % air (N2, O2, CO2)
  • pH
  • CEC
  • % SOM, SOC
  • % N
  • % P
  • % K
  • Fe+
  • Ca+

Notes

The ICRAF database can be opened and exported to TXT with this: https://www.netzwelt.de/software-download/18341-mdb-viewer-plus.html

Question about soil pH values

Question

The database gives two values for soil pH for some locations: PHH2O, PHKCL. The question is: what is the relationship between these two? Becasue when plotted they don’t correlate well.
