UjuziKilimo, a local Agri-Intelligence company, has launched SoilPal Pro, the world’s first smartphone-based soil testing solution.
The solution is based on a Smartphone-connected spectral soil sensor.
UjuziKilimo Chief Executive Officer Brian Bosire says the solution is designed to deliver laboratory-grade soil testing and intelligence to the palm of every farmer.
Bosire says SoilPal Pro delivers instant, data-validated insights into soil health, redefining how soil intelligence is accessed and applied worldwide.
Crucially, SoilPal Pro works globally without local calibration, enabling consistent accuracy across diverse agro-ecological zones and accelerating UjuziKilimo’s global expansion into Europe, the United States, Asia, and South America.
“For farmers, enterprises, and governments alike, this innovation provides the clarity, speed, and scale required to transform agriculture in the face of rising input costs, climate pressures, and food security demands,” said Bosire.
By combining visible- and near-infrared (VNIR) spectroscopy, AI-powered machine learning, and cloud connectivity, SoilPal Pro enables users to test soil on-site and receive actionable insights in seconds.
“As a farmer’s son, I’ve seen first-hand the resilience it takes to turn uncertain soils into harvests. People growing our food deserve more than resilience; they deserve technology that is powerful, affordable, and tailored to the environments they farm in,” said Bosire.
Each test analyzes over 13 critical soil parameters, including nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, pH, organic carbon, moisture, and salinity. Results are processed through UjuziKilimo’s proprietary predictive agronomy engine, delivering precise, localized recommendations directly to the user’s smartphone.
Weighing just 105 grams, SoilPal Pro is built for rugged, real-world environments. Every test connects to UjuziKilimo’s cloud-based platform, where AI models trained on thousands of soil profiles across diverse agroecological zones continuously learn and adapt to local conditions.
This is absolutely brilliant! It’s fantastic to see innovation like this bringing affordable soil testing to farmers.
