Which Regen Platform classifiers to set for my vineyard?

To activate the Regen Dashboard on Sectormentor, there are some compulsory details to add to each block and sample that you want to be included in benchmarking. This page will support you to understand which of the options to choose.


Which soil texture best describes my soil sample sites?

The soil texture you set affects how the Regen Platform interprets your results, so your Regen Dashboard isn’t active until this information is added.

Choose the soil texture below that you feel best describes the texture of your soil sample, or that makes up the majority of the soil profile:

Heavy: Clay, Clay loam

Medium: Silty loam, Loamy clay, Silt, Loam, Silty clay loam, Sandy clay

Light: Sand, Sandy loam

Which biome should I choose?

We’ve pulled together six biomes across the world – look at the map to find out which one you belong to. When we set you up on Sectormentor, we assign a biome based your vineyard’s location. Get in touch with us to change this & we’ll update your account!

N.B. If your site isn’t mapped with a biome on the map, you can decide based on your understanding of your climate and landscape.


Which rainfall best describes my sites?

Your rainfall level will affect how the Regen Platform will interpret your results – once you’ve identified which biome you’re in, choose the annual rainfall level for your farm from the list below to activate the Regen Dashboard on your account.
