Soil, Water and Topography Maps

One map, three layers that drive yield

SWAT MAPS are high-resolution soil foundation maps that are essential for precise fertilizer and seed applications. Understanding field variability allows you to better manage your fields, enhance crop inputs and maximize profitability.

3D view of a SWAT MAP: a field's terrain coloured by its 10 zones, from red on the dry hilltops (zone 1) to dark green in the wet low areas (zone 10)

Soil

Factors such as soil texture, organic matter, topsoil depth, and salinity can all impact yield and fertilizer response.

Water icon: a water drop

Water

Water has the biggest influence on yield and fertilizer response. SWAT MAPS categorizes dry and wet areas in your field into ten different management zones.

Topography icon: contour lines of hills and slopes

Topography

Topography is described by landscape positions in a field (hilltops, mid-slopes, and depressions). Topography can influence soil moisture, erosion, organic matter levels, pH, and soil fertility levels.

Every SWAT MAP Has 10 Zones

Tailor every pass to each part of the field

Ten different SWAT zones gives you the ability to tailor your practices to specific areas of the field, optimizing resources and increasing yield by addressing variations in soil, nutrients, and crop needs.

  1. Zones 1–2Eroded knolls, dry
  2. Zones 3–4Upper slopes
  3. Zones 5–6Mid-slopes, field average
  4. Zones 7–8Toe slopes, lower flats
  5. Zones 9–10Depressions, wet
