The objective of this study was to compare the spatial electrical conductivity patterns obtained with a DUALEM-2 (Dualem, Inc.), a Veris 3100 (Veris Technologies, Inc.) and the Profiler EMP-400 (geophysical Survey Systems, Inc). Each of these devices was driven over a 25 acre field, with contrasting soil textures. Soil samples were collected and analyzed for particle size distribution and moisture. Results of this study will be discussed.
