The Soil CRC’s BANDICOOT® soil probe is an advanced prototype soil sensing system that delivers in-field measurements of key soil physical and chemical properties. It combines a motor-driven probe, sensor fusion, and real-time visualisation into a rugged, portable tool designed for validation under commercial field conditions.
The BANDICOOT® probe allows multi-depth readings and geospatial mapping of soil compaction, moisture, and electrical conductivity (EC). It is now undergoing operational trials with growers and agtech collaborators.
