Understand the soil first, sow the right crop next.

SoilSense now follows a proper farm journey. First it sets up the device, then it studies the field for a few days, then it ranks the best crops for sowing, and after crop selection it helps manage that crop through maturity, water, risk and market value.

1. Initial setup

Connect the SoilSense device, choose analysis duration, and prepare the field sensor workflow.

2. Initial soil mode

Run a few days of readings before sowing. This lets the system understand moisture, temperature, salt pressure and field conditions.

3. Crop recommendation + care

After enough data is collected, SoilSense shows the best Indian crops to sow and then switches into crop-specific management mode.

Initial Setup

Connect the device, choose how many days to analyse the soil, and prepare the first monitoring cycle.

SoilSense device ID

Give this installation a simple field name so the farmer can identify it easily.

Analysis configuration

How long should setup analysis run?

Short analysis is faster. Longer analysis gives stronger sowing recommendations.

Land size for prediction

Enter land area in hectares so water and price estimates become more precise.

Mode after analysis

SoilSense will rank crops for sowing and then lock into crop-specific care after selection.

Device Placement Guide

Before analysis starts, place the sensor unit correctly so the collected data reflects real soil conditions.

ESP32 Unit Above splash zone Moisture probe Root-zone depth Avoid bund edge Pick representative soil

How to place the device

Use the visual guide and keep the placement simple for the farmer.

  • Place the unit in representative soil, not in the wettest or driest corner.
  • Keep the main device body above the splash zone and safe from standing water.
  • Insert the moisture probe near the root-zone depth of the intended crop.
  • Avoid field edges, water channels, bunds, or heavy shade points.
  • Leave the device undisturbed during the initial soil analysis period.

Regional Calibration

Select your State and District. ASTRA uses this to pull exact Mandi prices from Data.gov.in and IMD weather forecasts for your area.

Set Region Data

Note: The Mandi API filters by State + District. If your district name shows no results, try a major nearby market district.

Initial Soil Analysis Mode

Run for a few days, gather readings, and let the system understand the field before sowing advice is shown.

Analysis summary

When analysis is done

SoilSense will recommend the best sowing options using the collected field profile.

Crop Selection Page

These are the best available crop options for sowing based on the soil data gathered during setup. Select one crop first, then confirm it.

Market prices shown below are now powered by a live mandi/eNAM feed via the ASTRA backend. IMD weather analytics have also been natively integrated.

Main Dashboard

After crop selection, SoilSense returns to the main dashboard UI and now keeps tracking that crop using the setup data, daily readings, maturity timing and market context.

Field Intelligence

Data first. Healthy and profitable crops.

The dashboard now uses the earlier clean UI pattern and adds soil-analysis-based crop care, maturity timing, price context and reset control.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often does the sensor sync?

Readings are updated every 15 minutes via Bluetooth or LoRa depending on setup.

FAQ

When should I reset?

Reset only when you want to start again from device setup and fresh soil analysis.

FAQ

Why is crop selection after analysis?

The system needs baseline soil behaviour before giving reliable sowing suggestions.
