Soil Fertility Indicator for<br />

sub-Saharan Africa<br />

Agriculture is integral to success in rural Africa, having<br />

the potential to be an ‘engine for growth’ with small-scale<br />

farmers driving the process.<br />

Soil+ is a comprehensive, low cost solution designed to<br />

improve and enhance the farmer’s understanding of the<br />

soil properties, targeting fertiliser misuse and providing an<br />

indication of the overall soil fertility. The product calculates<br />

and infers pH and electrical conductivity values, comparing<br />

them to a benchmark ‘map’ of soil fertility, thus analysing<br />

fertility levels and making recommendations.<br />
