U3 - Field Applications

Precision Agriculture

Maximize your farm’s potential with the Veris U3. By providing detailed soil pH, organic matter, and texture data, it enables the creation of precise management zones, optimizing fertilizer application and crop yields across variable soil conditions.
Variable Rate Seeding

Tailor your seeding strategies with confidence. The Veris U3’s precise soil maps support variable rate seeding, ensuring optimal seed placement based on soil characteristics, enhancing germination rates, and ultimately, crop uniformity and yield.
Environmental Research and Conservation

Contribute to environmental research by mapping and analyzing soil conditions over large areas quickly. The U3’s rapid scanning capability is ideal for conservation projects aiming to assess and manage soil variability and its impact on ecosystem services.
Soil Health Monitoring

Continuously track and improve soil health. The U3 offers in-depth analysis, identifying areas that require attention—be it pH adjustment or organic matter enhancement—allowing for targeted interventions that boost soil productivity and sustainability.

FAQs

The Veris U3 is equipped to measure soil pH, organic matter, and electrical conductivity (EC), providing detailed insights into soil health and texture.
With these three datasets, fertility sampling and nutrient management is simplified and made more accurate.
The U3 can map at 8-15 mph with a pH reading only taking 8-10 seconds. This allows 450+ acres per day, depending on field conditions and setup, making it highly efficient for large-scale operations.
The U3 is designed for compatibility with a wide range of utility vehicles (UTVs). However, for optimal performance, the higher capacity models of each manufacturer are recommended. Please consult our support team for compatibility details.
Yes, the U3 is versatile and effective in a variety of soil types. Its sensors are designed to accurately measure and provide reliable data across different soil conditions from sandy loams to clay.
Data from the U3 can be viewed and analyzed using the SoilViewer™ software, which is included with the system. This software allows for real-time data visualization and easy integration into existing farm management systems.

After mapping the data is uploaded to the FieldFusion cloud portal for a quality control review. It is then compatible with any GIS using industry standard filetypes. FieldFusion also provides additional management zone and prescription writing tools.

Field Tested, Farmer Approved

“After seeing the U3 speed across the field while still collecting quality data, I quickly saw how this tool can help me serve growers in my area. We’ve already put Veris data to use writing seeding scripts, managing pH and much more. Now with the more accessible U3, I can provide these types of solutions on more acres with savings for myself and the grower.

Cory Gilbert, On Target Ag Solutions

“We have seen rapid growth within our business since implementing the U3 mapping system which is continually growing to the point where this year we purchased a second U3 Veris unit.”
