It tests for soil moisture content, Potential of Hydrogen (pH), salinity, nutritional content, farm topology and employs the Internet of Things (IoT) technologies to analyze the data and make a prescription in real time. The disclosure is a combination of a handheld portable device system and a cloud-based analytics Platform. The hand-held device system contains a micro-processor, memory, keypad input interfaced with the output via a display, signal conditioner, data encoder and decoder, local bus allowing for in system communication, communications module with wireless communications capability and power management module. The hand-held device has attached probes for manual insertion into the soil for testing. The cloud-based platform consists of a database, algorithm and Application Programming Interface (API) which receives device data for processing. The derived recommendations are routed to an output gateway and in readable text format.
