“…On the other hand, if soil pH measurement is higher than 7.1, presenting an alkaline result, one effect is that it can reduce the absorption of heavy metals in plants, as the increase in heavy metals disrupts the normal activity of soil microbial communities [19]. An excessive accumulation of Cu can affect plants by varying the absorption of minerals and the oxygenation of the plant itself, which is why the soil condition must be monitored constantly [20]. This accumulation of Cu is not the only reason why you should have constant monitoring of the soil.…”

Avocado is a fruit of high export demand. It is the third most exported product in Peru. To improve its quality, as well as the characteristics of the soil in which is gown strict supervision and control has to be taken; however, for the small and medium producers, this process is slow and costly, which generates possibilities of loss and consequently a decrease of export possibilities and economic growth. To overcome this situation, a robot has been developed to analyze the soil of the land, such as humidity, pH, macronutrients, Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium. Additionally, a simple interface has been developed so that, after collecting the data, the farmer can read the results in multi-layer colored maps and perform the necessary actions to take care of the plants in a shorter time than in which is currently done.
