At the heart of healthy soil is a vibrant, living community of microbes. Biome Makers is a global ag-tech company that helps farmers unlock the power of this living soil by using advanced DNA analysis and artificial intelligence to understand what’s happening beneath the surface.

Their core tool, BeCrop®, is the world’s leading soil biology test. It doesn’t just tell you what’s in your soil — it reveals what your soil is doing.

BeCrop® works by analysing the DNA of thousands of microbes in your soil and matching that to a global database of over 20 million microbial references. It then reports back on how well your soil is supporting critical functions like:

• ✅ Nitrogen cycling

• ✅ Organic matter breakdown

• ✅ Root growth support

• ✅ Disease risk and resilience

• ✅ Carbon storage potential

This means you can make smarter decisions — not just about what to apply, but where and why.

👩‍🌾 Why It Matters for Growers

For farmers, BeCrop® is like having a soil health advisor with a microscope in every paddock. It helps:

• Reduce unnecessary fertiliser use

• Target soil constraints with greater precision

• Improve yield consistency and input efficiency

• Monitor soil function over time, not just chemical composition

It’s a practical tool with a scientific backbone — and it’s already helping farmers around the world reduce costs, improve margins, and build more resilient soils.

🌏 Why It Matters for Catchments & Programs

For environmental programs and policymakers, BeCrop® delivers measurable impact. It supports:

• Tracking of Nitrogen Use Efficiency (NUE)

• Benchmarking soil improvement and biological recovery

• Demonstrating outcomes for programs like Reef protection, soil carbon, and drought resilience

• Reducing reliance on reactive inputs by building soil function from the ground up

With partners like Bayer, UC Davis, and regional growers across six continents, Biome Makers is bringing world-class science to the farmgate — and now, to Australia.
