Electromagnetic Soil Conductivity Meters for Precision Mapping
Unlock soil insights instantly with AgroEnviroTest’s accurate, non-invasive conductivity meters for smarter land management decisions.
Electromagnetic Soil Conductivity Meters
At AgroEnviroTest, our Electromagnetic Soil Conductivity Meters provide powerful, non-invasive tools for real-time soil variability mapping. Ideal for agricultural, environmental, and geotechnical applications, these systems help users measure subsurface electrical conductivity to assess salinity, moisture content, compaction layers, and more. With advanced sensors and digital integration, our meters offer unmatched precision and ease of use in field conditions.
Headquartered in Boston, MA, AgroEnviroTest stands at the forefront of Soil & Water Analysis Technologies. We offer field-ready tools supported by expert guidance, quality control, and strategic partnerships with GAO Tek and GAO RFID. From precision farming to site-specific remediation, our solutions are helping professionals across North America make faster, data-driven decisions that save time, conserve resources, and improve outcomes.

Case Study
Kansas Wheat Cooperative, USA
Farmers in central Kansas used AgroEnviroTest’s electromagnetic meters to map salinity and soil texture variations across large wheat fields. The data enabled precision seeding and fertilization strategies that led to a 17% yield increase and 25% input savings over two seasons.
California Irrigation District, USA
To combat uneven water distribution, the district deployed our EM soil conductivity systems across 12 irrigation zones. Data from our solutions helped planners redesign irrigation schedules, reducing water waste by 30% and improving water delivery consistency.
Alberta Soil Science Consortium, Canada
AgroEnviroTest supported a research collaboration studying salinity’s impact on crop rotation. Researchers used our meters to conduct repeat surveys throughout the growing season. Real-time data visualization through AgroSoilMap™ supported faster academic reporting and regional soil health recommendations.
