In addition to the overview of diversity in soil sensing technologies, this chapter presents four case studies to illustrate the practical use of these technologies to enhance precision agriculture in Canada, the United Kingdom, Sweden and Papua New Guinea. These studies represent investigations of different instruments, field conditions and targeted soil properties. However, in all four cases, proximal soil sensing was used to predict selected soil properties to generate relatively accurate maps that could help to implement site-specific crop management successfully.
