Real-time soil microbiome insights to boost yields and cut input costs

Unlock the Power of the Soil Microbiome

A healthy soil microbiome is the foundation of productive agriculture. It drives the processes that grow the food we depend on.

Our field sensor platform gives growers real-time visibility into the living microbial community beneath the soil surface. By continuously monitoring microbial activity and organic matter decomposition, you gain actionable insights that help:

  • Increase crop yields

  • Reduce spending on water, fertilizer, pesticides, and herbicides

  • Make more informed, sustainable management decisions

The Science Behind Better Farming

Environmental conditions and management practices directly impact the microbial life in your soil. Understanding these interactions is key to improving both productivity and long-term sustainability.

Developed at the University of Colorado Boulder, our low-cost sensors measure organic matter decomposition processes as they happen — right in the field or in the lab. This provides continuous, accurate data across entire fields, moving beyond traditional lab testing to deliver timely, practical insights.

We are seeking additional partners in the agriculture sector for our 2026 SoilDataâ„¢ digital soil health pilot program.

Spots are limited. Ideal candidates include:

  • Growers and farm advisors in corn, wheat, and rice crops

  • Biofertilizer providers looking to validate and fine-tune product impact in a variety of settings

  • Irrigation providers looking for more detailed data on biological activity and nutrient cycling
