Regen Ag Lab licenses Biome Makers' BeCrop technology for deeper biological soil analysis

Date:11-14-2022

Biome Makers and Regen Ag Lab announced that the companies have entered into a strategic partnership that will expand biological soil health analyses in North America. The agreement brings together Regen Ag Lab, a laboratory focused on regenerative agriculture, and Biome Makers, a global agtech leader providing soil intelligence with BeCrop^® technology, the world’s largest database of taxonomic references of microorganisms.

Regen Ag Lab is licensing Biome Makers BeCrop^® soil microbiome standard analysis into Regen Ag Lab’s Haney and conventional soil health analytics services. Regen Ag Lab will utilize BeCrop^® technology to enhance services with biological insights on soil nutrient cycling and mobilization, disease risk, and biodiversity. Regen Ag Lab is opening a wet lab to conduct the soil analysis at their facilities as well as conduct BeCrop^® Trials, enabling ag input testing and performance verification.

″We’ve worked with Regen Ag Lab the over the years to provide biological soil analyses. We are thrilled to license BeCrop^® technology and strengthen this relationship,″ said Adrian Ferrero, CEO, and co-founder at Biome Makers. ″I am confident that this agreement will allow both Biome Makers and Regen Ag Lab to position BeCrop® biological soil analyses as the standard for soil health.″

Customers of Regen Ag Lab can utilize BeCrop^® reports to pinpoint specific areas of improvement and make data-driven decisions to optimize farmland health and input costs.

″BeCrop^® technology pushes the envelope of biological soil testing, and when coupled with the Haney Test, we see a game-changing opportunity for growers,″ said Lance Gunderson, CEO, and founder at Regen Ag Lab. ″The pairing of the two tests allows for a deeper understanding of nutrient cycling and uptake potential by the crop through the soil’s biological engine. We are excited about this partnership and the opportunity to offer BeCrop^® technology on a wider scale.″
