Soil Sampling & Nutrient Analysis
One workflow. Zero duct tape.
QA Advisor’s soil sampling capabilities give you a smooth round trip from sample plan to prescription-ready data — planned, sampled, submitted, and returned, all in one place.
From the field to the lab and back
Sampling season moves fast. QA Advisor keeps the entire workflow in one place, from planning your grid, zone, or composite sample collection, to submitting to the lab, to getting results back automatically matched to the right fields and sample points. No re-entry. No file chasing. No reconciling lab exports against last year’s points.
Built for agronomists managing dozens of growers across hundreds of fields.
The round trip from sample plan to prescription-ready data all happens in QA Advisor.
Grid, zone, and composite sampling tasks, built once and reused every season
Lab submissions generated directly from the task, barcodes, sample IDs, and field associations included
Results returned automatically from any integrated lab and matched to the correct sample points, no manual reconciliation
Soil results ready to build prescriptions as soon as they arrive
Plan, sample, track
Import zone, grid, or composite sample layers (KML/KMZ, GeoTIFF, or Shapefile). Locate fields by map or list, navigate to sampling points using your device’s GPS or an external receiver for higher accuracy, and drop pins as you go. A live, color-coded sampling map tracks team progress and routes efficiently. Works fully offline, so sampling doesn’t stop when cell service does.
Reliable, repeatable results
Grid, zone, or composite: your choice
Every operation samples differently. Run grid sampling for consistent, evenly spaced points, zone sampling to target management zones defined from imagery or other spatial data, or composite sampling to pool multiple cores into one representative result. QA Advisor supports all three, so your sampling strategy doesn’t have to bend to fit the software.
Task assignment
Assign sampling tasks to team members, see what’s done versus outstanding, and reassign to balance the workload. Color the map by task to see every field with open work and plan efficient routes. When sampling is done, the task sends the lab submission for you.
From lab result to prescription in four steps
Results feed into zones and fertility recommendations
Grids and zones convert to variable rate prescriptions
Nutrient capabilities
Soil Data Ingestion: imports raw lab CSV files containing macro- and micronutrients
Map books
Turn your sampling data into a printed map book your team can carry into the field or the shop. Draw or import field boundaries, assign crop types, and layer in soil results, then build maps covering a single field or your entire operation. Map books work on their own, no prescriptions required, or bundle with Basic or Advanced Prescriptions.
Zone-based prescriptions
Hardware integration
Pricing that fits your operation
Whether you’re an independent agronomist or managing a large team, we offer flexible pricing based on your users and the capabilities you need. Add more as your operation grows.
