UjuziKilimo unveils AI-powered smartphone-based soil testing service
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 ensures accuracy while enabling large-scale applications.
Agri-tech firm UjuziKilimo has launched SoilPal Pro, a smartphone-based soil testing service that aims at offering soil test results to farmers across the country.
According to the firm, SoilPal Pro product has been tested to deliver instant, data-validated insights into soil health, redefining how soil intelligence is accessed and applied worldwide.
UjuziKilimo Chief Executive Officer Brian Bosire said 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.
“SoilPal Pro isn’t just about knowing your soil, it’s about democratizing access to soil intelligence. 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.
SoilPal Pro challenges the outdated assumption that soil testing must be slow, expensive, and centralized. Redefining what farmers, agribusinesses, and governments can expect from soil intelligence.
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. What once required laboratory logistics now happens instantly, transforming soil data into a real-time decision tool.
Said Bosire, “As a farmer’s son, I’ve seen firsthand 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."
Each test analyzes over 13 critical soil parameters, including nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, pH, organic carbon, moisture, and salinity.
The results are processed through UjuziKilimo’s proprietary predictive agronomy engine, delivering precise, localized recommendations directly to the user’s smartphone.
