An independent overview of performance of different proximal soil sensing technologies. It point how gamma-ray sensors are highly valuable for producing soil maps and delineating management zones at field scale. The strength of gamma-ray spectromettry lies in capturing spatial patterns, as radionuclide distributions correlate with key soil properties such as texture, soil carbon and nutrients. | 2026 |

A systematic comparison of proximal soil sensing technologies for high-resolution soil property prediction and mapping. Field experiments demonstrate that gamma-ray spectroscopy is one of the most effective single sensors for predicting key soil properties across heterogeneous agricultural soils, . | 2024 | ||

Multi Sensor Soil Sensing Tool for Farmland in Spain | Medusa developed an efficient and effective soil sensing system (gamma-ray and GPR) on a 4x4 car to be able to measure >100 fields, 300 ha throughout the north of Spain in 3 weeks. The sensing data was combined with open data (DEM, geology) and soil sampling results (by UPM) to acquire information about soil texture, soil organic matter, tillage layer depth, compaction, altitude, slope, nutrients. This provided a good understanding of the soils and is a powerful communication tool for farmers and agronomists.
