Measure
Moisture, conductivity and temperature are measured directly. pH, N, P and K are screened from conductivity and labelled as such.
Soil intelligence for Australian farms
Seven indicators. Every sample.
Seven soil indicators from every sample, saved with a place on the map — plus compaction logged in the same app. Measured conductivity shows where a paddock changes, so laboratory tests go where they are actually needed.

What TerraTactics does
Measure in the paddock. Keep the record. Direct the lab.
Buy the probe once. The farm record keeps building — and laboratory spend gets sharper.
Capture
The field app saves soil readings and penetrometer compaction against a paddock and a GPS point, and syncs when you next have signal.
Map
Draw your paddock boundaries once. Every reading lands on the map where you took it.
Compare
Track change at the same points across a season — then send chemistry where the record shows variation.

DIY soil checks you can do yourself
Eight practical checks for structure, water entry, compaction and visible soil life — plus a clear guide to what portable screening can tell you and when a laboratory or agronomist is the smarter next spend.
- Spade, infiltration, slake, compaction, soil-life and decomposition checks
- Australian safety, salinity and sodicity context
- A printable paddock worksheet and clear escalation triggers

How a season builds
Three steps, repeated at the same points
Consistency matters more than complexity. Sample the same places under comparable moisture and the comparison does the work for you.
-
Map your paddocks
Draw each boundary in the portal once. Area is calculated for you, and readings snap to the right paddock from then on.
-
Take a reading
Let the probe settle, save the sample in the app, and optionally log a penetrometer compaction test at the same point. Each result carries its own date and GPS location into the record.
-
Compare and decide
Come back to the same points next season and see what has changed. Anything that needs a number goes to the lab — with a better map of where to sample.

EC

Why farmers keep using it
Confident about the signal. Honest about the limits.
EC you can act on as a lead
Measured conductivity tracks salts, texture and wetness context — the same physical idea behind EM-style zone work.
A record that compounds
Boundaries, sample points and GPS tags mean every reading belongs somewhere specific and comparable.
Knows its limits
Screened pH and NPK are labelled. Nutrient and liming rates stay with accredited labs and your agronomist.
From the paddock
What growers say
TerraTactics gives us a consistent soil record without slowing down the day. The value showed up in the second season, when we could actually compare.
What sold me was that it tells you when it does not know. It flags something worth a lab test instead of pretending it has already answered the question.
Mapping the paddocks took an afternoon. Now every reading lands where it was taken and I am not reconstructing anything from memory.

Probe, app, portal: one field record

Building a repeatable soil sampling routine
Australian paddocks punish drifting methods. Named points, fixed depth, matched moisture and short notes make next season’s comparison worth having.

When screening pH should send you to the lab
Field pH is a flare, not a lime order. How Australian growers use portable screens, then CaCl₂ chemistry and aluminium, before they spend on lime.
