Product overview

Rapid field intelligence, designed for decisions

Soilo Essence 5 uses multi-parameter electrochemical sensing with sensor fusion and signal processing to turn soil signals into clear, crop-specific guidance - feeding dashboards, advisory, carbon evidence, and sustainability reporting.

Why Soilo Essence

Know what your soil needs before you spend money on it.

A farmer should not have to gamble an entire season on guesswork.

What you get

Six decisions Essence helps you make

Not a list of parameters: a better decision before money, water or a season is spent.

01

Spend less unnecessarily

Do I actually need more N, P, K or another input?

Test before you buy or apply, and see where nutrients may already be sufficient.

02

Protect the crop

Is pH, salinity, moisture or a nutrient imbalance already causing a problem?

Catch hidden soil problems early, before the crop shows them.

03

Choose correctly

Which crop, tree, flower, grass or plantation species suits this soil?

Match soil conditions to what you plan to grow, and compare fields before planting.

04

Act at the right place

Which area of my land needs intervention?

Fields are rarely uniform. Treat zones differently instead of every acre the same.

05

Prove what happened

What was the soil like before treatment, and what changed afterwards?

Record before and after, season after season, instead of relying on memory.

06

Earn from soil intelligence

Can I build a business without owning a farm?

Become the local person farmers call before they spend on inputs, as a Soilo Field Partner.

Where it is used

One device, many decisions

Fertilizer and irrigation on the farm, the right plant in the right soil, plantation blocks, programmes, and local soil-testing businesses.

Farms and crops

  • Fertilizer decisions: test before buying or applying
  • NPK and micronutrient balance
  • pH correction and lime decisions
  • Salinity and drainage problems
  • Irrigation: check real soil moisture first
  • Crop suitability and field comparison
  • Rice, wheat, maize and cereals
  • Vegetables and high-value horticulture
  • Organic and regenerative farming records

Orchards and plantations

  • Orchards, citrus and grapes
  • Coffee, cocoa and tea blocks
  • Banana, sugarcane and cotton
  • Greenhouses and nurseries
  • Seed production farms
  • Block-by-block nutrient decisions

Landscaping and turf

  • Plant and tree selection by soil
  • Residential gardens
  • Commercial landscaping and resorts
  • Parks, urban forestry and campuses
  • Golf courses, sports grounds and turf farms
  • Reforestation and agroforestry site checks

Programmes and enterprises

  • FPOs and cooperatives
  • Agronomists and agricultural consultants
  • Fertilizer dealers and input retailers
  • Government extension and NGO programmes
  • Agricultural colleges and demonstration farms
  • Contract farming and agribusiness sourcing
  • Land due diligence and leasing baselines

Soilo Essence is designed to support field-specific input decisions. Independent research shows site-specific nutrient management can reduce unnecessary fertilizer use, but those results are not Essence results. Essence does not replace accredited laboratory analysis where regulation, contamination testing, carbon-credit issuance or a mandated methodology requires it.

How it works

How Soilo calculates soil testing results

We use nine proprietary electrochemical and organic sensors to analyse the composition of the soil. The sensor outputs are fused and processed through our NLP-driven intelligence system to generate comprehensive soil reports with lab-grade accuracy within minutes. The technology is patented and rights are reserved with Soilo.

Built for the field, by farmers, for farmers

Portable, real-time testing

Nine sensors capture multi-parameter soil signals on the spot - no lab, no waiting.

Offline mobile app

Connects over Bluetooth, works without internet, and is available in local languages.

Affordable & chemical-free

Accurate field screening with a clean, chemical-free operation for any crop.

Durable aluminium body

A rugged aluminium build designed to be safe across all fields and crops.

How it works

From probe to recommendation in five steps

  1. 1

    Insert into soil

    Place the probe assembly vertically into prepared, representative soil.

  2. 2

    Start & wait ~60s

    Start the test in the app and let the full cycle complete.

  3. 3

    See results in the app

    Readings sync over Bluetooth into a clear, crop-wise report.

  4. 4

    Validate AI suggestions

    Confirm crop, growth stage, and plot size, then review priority actions.

  5. 5

    Download the report

    Save or share for records, advisory, procurement, or documentation.

Every report includes

A complete, decision-ready soil report

Soil health score

A numeric score summarising overall condition and urgency.

Environmental snapshot

Temperature, moisture, and humidity context where configured.

Nutrient composition

Measured value, optimal range, and status for each parameter.

Crop advisory

Fertilizer prescription, priority actions, and a re-test schedule.

AI recommendation layer

An AI-assisted agronomy layer

Soilo maps readings against crop type, growth stage, plot size, and agronomic ranges to classify each parameter as critical, low, optimal, or monitor - then generates practical next steps and a fertilizer prescription. It is an AI-assisted layer supported by field data and agronomic rules, not autonomous final agronomist approval.

Proprietary AI engine

Trained on internal and government-published datasets.

Vernacular NLP

Local-language guidance for farmers globally.

Offline-first

Core testing and advisory work without internet.

Live monitoring

Repeated readings become graphs for easy review.

Honest comparison

Field device and laboratory - complementary, not interchangeable

Soilo Essence 5 is a rapid field intelligence system for decision-making. For regulated audits, subsidy claims, or legal disputes, conventional laboratory testing may still be required as the reference method.

The strongest assurance comes from side-by-side validation against lab results for the same soil type, geography, and crop. For institutional deployments, periodic lab comparison keeps field data trustworthy over time.

Correct field use

Get reliable readings every time

  • Choose a representative point - avoid fertiliser lumps, stones, roots, and field edges
  • Clear surface debris; soil should be firm and moist enough for probe contact
  • Insert the probe assembly vertically until stable; do not shake during the test
  • Confirm crop, growth stage, and plot size before acting on recommendations
  • Take multiple readings across zones and use the average trend for commercial decisions
  • Re-test after corrective action, irrigation, or a crop-stage change
