Applied nutrition research designed around your species and system.
- Trial design
- Data & reporting
For: Producers and researchers
Plant nutrition
Crop nutrition & soil solutions
Soil analysis
Fertiliser spend guided by habit, not data.
Full soil chemistry and biology with an actionable nutrition plan.
Plant tissue analysis
Deficiencies discovered only after yield is lost.
In-season tissue testing that catches deficiency before it costs you.
Crop nutrition programmes
Generic programmes applied to very different fields.
Crop- and site-specific nutrition programmes built on your data.
Biofertilizers
Rising input cost and declining soil health.
Biological nutrition products developed and validated for your system.
Biostimulants
Crops under heat, drought and transplant stress.
Biostimulant selection and trialling for stress tolerance and vigour.
Microbial inoculants
Poor nutrient uptake from a depleted soil microbiome.
Inoculant screening, production advice and field validation.
Nutrient deficiency analysis
Visible symptoms with an unclear cause.
Diagnostic testing that names the limiting nutrient and the fix.
Fertilizer optimization
Over- and under-application across the same farm.
Rate, timing and placement optimisation based on measured need.
Field trials
Product claims that buyers no longer accept at face value.
Designed, replicated field trials with credible reporting.
Plant-microbe research
Biological products without a mechanism story.
Applied plant-microbe research supporting product development.
Agriculture
Commercial agricultural solutions
Plant tissue culture
Disease-carrying, inconsistent planting material.
Clean, uniform plantlets produced at commercial volume.
Crop diagnostics
Unidentified disease spreading through a block.
Rapid pathogen identification and a management recommendation.
Soil testing
Unknown fertility and constraint status.
Chemistry, biology and interpretation in one report.
Biopesticides
Resistance and residue limits on export crops.
Biological crop protection evaluation and development.
Precision agriculture
Uniform inputs across highly variable land.
