FAQs

Who is Xact?

Xact Agriculture has products and services in the agriculture, forestry and emerging carbon sectors using proprietary algorithms and deep learning artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities that utilize satellite, remote-sensing and predictive analytics data to provide insights, improve decision making, and impact productivity, efficiency and sustainability for land management.

What methods does Xact follow?

Here at Xact we have a carefully developed soil sampling protocols that ensure scientific rigor. These protocols and intense screening of data enable Xact to be precise and accurate.

Can I provide Xact with my soil sampling results from previous years/do my own soil sampling?

Unfortunately no, because we follow a specific sampling protocol we need to guarantee these are the processes being followed. AI is reliant on consistent inputted data, and by following our strict protocol we help control all variables to ensure the highest quality of data is delivered to the client.

How quickly will I receive my soil sampling results once I have inputted my request?

Time is comparable to regular laboratory turnaround time. We estimate around a month post soil sample collection, soil sample collection is based on industry standards for optimal soil chemistry results.

How often is your Xact Data updated?

To accurately manage your soil, season after season we recommend signing up for our products long term. This is because once sampled you will get a snapshot/map of your land from post-harvest. As a subscriber, year over year data comparisons and analysis can be completed to enable farmers/producers to measure their land management practises and success to optimise productivity.

What does my land need to look like in order for the analysis to be done?

For the satellites to capture your land accurately and precisely with their spectral signature it must see bare soil. Fields managed with zero-till are acceptable and can be analyzed. Growth/regrowth of anything green, water or other interference with the soil will impact the areas Xact is able to analyse.

I just received my results, now what?

This data can be shared in multiple ways and used by you or your agronomist for appropriate land management applications.

Why are there two phosphorus test results?

Your ideal P result will be dependent on the pH of your soil.Bray-P test measures total phosphorus which is readily available to plants in soils that have a pH < 7. The optimum level will vary with crop yield and soil conditions,Bicarbonate P (sodium bicarbonate) test measures the amount of readily available phosphorus in soils with a pH >7. In basic soils the phosphorus exists mostly as alkaline earth phosphates.

How is my data protected?

Esri system complies with The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP®) and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). https://trust.arcgis.com/en/.
