I would call this rather soil chemistry....Or add fraction of sand silt clay...bulk density....field capacity, wilting point, hydr consuctivity...etc

[agritheory]

I don't know how this is useful information to include in an ERP at all. It would be tested at most twice a year and would not change on ERP-relevant timescales.

@robertbecht sand, silt, clay composition is tracked under the Soil Texture Doctype (#11212). Also I think bulk density, field capacity, wilting point and hydraulic conductivity should also come under the Soil Texture Doctype (#11212). What do you think about it?

@agritheory it could help track the soil information over a period of time, so that the inputs to the soil (fertilizer, etc) could be tweaked, so as to obtain a better yield

Hi, There were in the past some other erpnext users interested in AgriApplications: Search archive: A farmer in Zambia and one in central america (tropicalramble) i believe... Mark@upande.com (Kenya) is on this list and uses Erpnext for fishfarming and water utilities... Joosthoedjes@hotmail.com is a meteorologist....his wife works as a farmmanager for a large rose farm in Naivasha, Kenya. They may know if there are farmers interested to join this initiative regards robert

I wwould separate soil physical and soil chemical/fertility parameters

Here the agri tread....

https://discuss.erpnext.com/t/erpnext-for-agriculture/4141/3

I think if you develope an agri extention for ErpNext you should do this with together with a farmer or a Agri Department of a university

@robertbecht thanks for the contacts, we'll try to get in touch with them

So we actually have an Agri group on Telegram which basically consists of people from the farming community, we could add you if you want. Also @Tropicalrambler helped us a lot in coming up with the Doctypes.

Also we already have the soil physical (#11212) and soil chemical (#11217) parameters separately. Could you specify how you would rather have it and why?
