Here is an example of the data that can be collected

• A set of 15 scans are taken for a selected area. (Full Analysis, Mineral Data Requirement)

• Each scan takes approx. 20-30 seconds from start to finish, resulting in a full set of scans in under 8 min.

• Multiple scans will provide better accuracy and reduce anomalies in the measurements where a single scan could lead to.

• A set of 5 Scans can be performed, but will not provide Mineral Data.

• Optionally, a single scan can be done, but will result in a reduction of information that is gathered.

• All scan data can be exported as an Excel file for efficient data transfer to an agronomist for extra analysis.

Key Factors

• Redox is measured in mV

• Oxidation is the loss of electrons (energy)

• Reduction is the gain of electrons (energy)

• NO3- (Nitrates) would be an oxidative ion (- Charge)

• NH4+ (Ammonium) would be a reduced ion (+ Charge)

• More complex molecules (Amino Acids, Proteins, Enzymes, Humic Acid, Glucose) are reduced forms of molecules that result in a lower redox level.

• In the plants, photosynthesis uses the light energy of photons to combine (reduce) carbon dioxide from the air with hydrogen taken from water. ^[1] This reaction produces glucose and releases oxygen. (Reducing the Carbon and Oxidizing the Air.)

Data Breakdown:

6.24.25

Some correlations can be observed over the days measured:

While High Temp and High humidity were recorded, notice the lower Pe + pH (Stress) levels.

Also note Redox values are more reduced.

6.29.25 - 6.30.25

As the temp and humidity climb;
Pe + pH is lower then starts to climb
Redox measurements start to increase in value (we are looking to lower the number overall)
Brix starts to climb
Chlorophyll production along with Brix Measurements.

• These graphs are a good visualization of where plants are on a scale but you gain a better insight into what a crop has expressed over time.

• More measurements will lead to a better understanding of what stressors a plant has experienced through the different growth cycles.

Mineral Analysis

• The benefit of capturing crop data overtime is the visualization and analysis of mineral uptake through the different key stages of plant growth and development. ^[2]

• Temperature, Humidity, Pe + pH, pH, Redox, Brix Conductivity and Chlorophyll are all measurements that can be obtained with either 5 or 15 scans.

• Pe + pH indicates the ability to gain or lose electrons. ^[3]

Field Observations

As observed in the photo, there is little no no vegetation / residue covering the bare soil between the corn plants.
