About Nexus Octa
Nexus Octa turns the Pocket Sensor into a complete soil-testing tool for farmers, agronomists and field teams.
Insert the probe into the soil, connect it to your Android phone with the Type-C cable, and in about 20 seconds you get eight readings:
• Soil pH
• Electrical conductivity (EC)
• Moisture
• Temperature
• Nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K)
• Salinity
WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Test soil in the field: readings are averaged over several seconds for a stable, repeatable result.
• Save every reading with the farmer's name and its GPS location.
• Farm Map: draw field boundaries on satellite imagery and test at fixed sample points season after season.
• Works offline: readings are stored on the phone and back up to the cloud automatically when the network returns.
• History and reports: filter by farmer and date, view trends, and share readings as Excel files.
• Calibrate each parameter with your own offsets and limits.
• Use the app in English, हिन्दी, मराठी, العربية, Español or Français.
FOR TEAMS
Companies can give their field staff an invite code so every phone's readings go to one shared account, ready to review on the web.
REQUIREMENTS
Live soil readings need the Nexus Octa Pocket Sensor (USB Type-C). Your Android phone must support USB OTG.
Sensor readings are indicative field measurements. For certification or legal purposes, confirm results with an accredited soil laboratory.
