Integrated agricultural testing and optimization apparatuses and methods

An apparatus for performing agricultural testing and optimization, comprising:

• one or more storage devices to store a plurality of repositories of agricultural data for a plurality of agricultural regions;
• and
• one or more processor and memory arrangements to host and operate a plurality of cloud/fog data analytics tracking and services to provide agricultural testing and optimization support services to a plurality of portable integrated agricultural testing and optimization devices that operate in a plurality of locations of the plurality of agricultural regions;
• wherein the plurality of portable integrated agricultural testing and optimization devices with support of the apparatus, provide in field agricultural testing and optimization.

A method for performing agricultural testing and optimization, comprising:

• receiving, by a portable agricultural testing and optimization device, at a location in an agricultural region, a container of soil nutrient solution sample of the location;
• collecting, by the portable agricultural testing and optimization device, at the location, sensor data from the soil nutrient solution sample;
• and
• operating, by the portable agricultural testing and optimization device, at the location, one or more agricultural testing and optimization applications to perform agricultural testing and optimization for the location, based at least in part on the sensor data collected from the soil nutrient solution sample.

One or more computer-readable media (CRM) having instructions stored therein to cause a portable agricultural testing and optimization device, in response to execution of the instruction by the portable agricultural testing and optimization device, to:

• receive at a location in an agricultural region, a container of soil nutrient solution sample of the location;
• collect at the location, sensor data from the soil nutrient solution sample;
• and
• operate at the location, one or more agricultural testing and optimization applications to perform agricultural testing and optimization for the location, based at least in part on the sensor data collected from the soil nutrient solution sample.
