What is the Interra®Scan sensor measuring?
Do I still need to take soil samples?
How often does a field need to be surveyed by the Interra®Scan sensor?
How dense is the final data?
Are there any sensor calibrations to be done from field to field?
What is the suggested swath width?
What data layers can Interra®Scan provide?
How does soil moisture and ground cover affect readings?
Where do I access my Interra®Scan results?
Are there any radiation, health, or safety risks when using the Interra®Scan sensor?
The Interra®Scan sensor is measuring gamma radiation, a form of radiation emitted through the natural processes in the soil. For Interra®Scan, this source is the soil. Soil is in a constant state of change and is always emitting gamma rays. Specifically, the sensor is reading these rays and their corresponding isotopes; the primary isotopes we focus on are Thorium -232, Uranium -238, Potassium -40, and Caesium -138 due to their stability.
