The future of agriculture just got a lot deeper

BioSensor Solutions is a CO-WY Engine Client Company

BioSensor Solutions' patented soil sensing technology enables sustainable agriculture by monitoring the soil microbiome.

A healthy microbiome is required to grow the food we depend on. Our field and lab sensor platform is designed to help growers monitor the soil microbiome and holistically understand microbial activity below the ground. Data and insights from these new sensors will help growers increase yields and save resources on water, fertilizer, pesticides, and herbicides.

Applications

• Verify and determine the impacts of soil fumigation

• Study biofertilizer effectiveness

• Monitor soil health and nutrient cycling

• Understand impacts of and optimize soil inputs

Beneficial agricultural practices can be informed through a deeper understanding of how environmental conditions and management approaches impact the living community in soils. The microbially-driven processes of organic matter transformation in soils are critical for agricultural sustainability and productivity.

At the University of Colorado Boulder, we have developed sensor technology to continuously monitor organic matter decomposition processes directly in the soil. These low-cost sensors allow for real-time capture of this important information across a field or in the lab.

Data from these new sensors is displayed in our GrowCast™ soil health dashboard. This dashboard will help growers better understand the impacts of various management practices on the soil microbiome.
