Prolific Earth Sciences is an AgTech company that provides the microBIOMETER, a patented mobile-based soil testing system that enables rapid, on-site measurement of microbial biomass and fungal-to-bacterial ratios for soil health assessment.
Prolific Earth Sciences Inc. specializes in soil health diagnostics, centered on its flagship product, microBIOMETER. The system is a rapid, on-site soil testing tool that uses proprietary smartphone technology to measure microbial biomass and fungal-to-bacterial ratios. By leveraging a mobile app for data analysis, cloud syncing, and geolocation, the platform allows users to bypass the traditional laboratory process, which often involves high costs and significant wait times. The technology was developed by combining advancements in medical diagnostic testing with a focus on soil microbiology, offering a scalable method for soil stewards to assess biological health directly in the field.
This diagnostic capability provides critical data for regenerative agriculture, landscaping, and environmental management. By enabling users to quantify the microbial life in their soil, the tool helps growers track the impact of their management practices, optimize soil carbon sequestration, and improve overall crop health. The company serves a global customer base across numerous countries, providing a cost-effective alternative to traditional lab testing. Through extensive educational outreach, Prolific Earth Sciences supports soil health advocacy and provides growers with the data necessary to implement informed, science-based regenerative practices.
