Biome Makers, a leading global agtech company on a mission to recover soil health and improve farmer profitability, has officially announced the latest evolution of its BeCrop® Farm technology. To give you some context, BeCrop® Farm is the first digital platform designed to maximize the potential of every acre, and it does that by evaluating over 1,000 parameters, including complex biological data and environmental factors. The idea driving this platform, in simple terms, is to provide precise input recommendations and tailored agronomic insights on soil health, disease risk, and management practices. Making such a development even more important is a fact that, with the increasing adoption of biological products and the expanding options available to farmers each season, it has become absolutely crucial to have proven and precise product recommendations for ensuring consistent performance and ROl. Fortunately enough, BeCrop® Farm fills in that very need. You see, it effectively eliminates guesswork and provides farmers and retailers with tools to help them choose the right products, as well as receive agronomic insights and recommendations that are easy to visualize and implement. Having covered all the initial bits and bobs, we now must shift our focus towards how exactly the new updates builds upon this proposition moving forward. For starters, it enhances experience through product recommendations, leveraging a more tailored brand-agnostic, data-driven take on biological inputs to achieve its goal. Next up, the update delivers at your disposal an assortment of Hi-Definition maps. These maps, on their part, generate biological soil functionality metrics pinpointing areas needing attention at the field level.
“Understanding the impact of products and management practices on soil is complex and most often requires experienced scientists and agronomists to make sense of the data.” said Alberto Acedo, co-founder and CSO at Biome Makers. “BeCrop® Farm combines biological, chemical, and environmental data and utilizes advanced AI to provide farmers and retailers with an actionable recommendation to make informed decisions and maximize impact.”
Moving on, users of BeCrop can even come expecting comprehensive agronomic insights. Markedly enough, the purpose of such insights is to effectively transform biological analysis into clear, actionable guidance which users can implement into their own management practices. Rounding up highlights for us is a user-friendly digital experience, which involves above everything else a retail and farmer-focused digital platform with intuitive analysis tools.
The whole runner delivers a rather interesting follow-up to Biome Makers’ track-record of building the largest global soil microbe database and scientifically verifying the claims of over 400 biological input products and management practices from ag input manufacturers, retailers, and other agribusinesses around the globe. You see, founded back in 2015, the company’s excellence in what it does can be understood once you consider it has already impacted 1.7MM+ acres of land across six continents and 56 different countries. Boasting a database of 24 million microorganisms, Biome Makers has also successfully analyzed over 200 types of crops. It has even empowered 21,500+ farmers with information they need to validate, prescribe, and manage farms and fields in a more efficient way. In case that wasn’t enough, then we must mention how the company has also conceived well over 200 industry collaborations thus far, with its partner line-up comprising of names like Diageo, Syngenta, UPL, Biovante, Bayer, SynTech Research Group, Simplot, BASF, Anglo American, and many others.
