Crop Response Trials


An outdated process

It might surprise you, but many of the soil sampling processes we use today are nearly identical to the ones used by agronomists in the mid-1900s. This begs the question—how accurate are our soil tests and recommendations if the values are based on research done forty to eighty years ago?

No one-size-fits-all

We believe that every soil is unique, and fertilizer needs should be managed based on the field-specific environment.  Technology helps solve this problem, but we need updated, intensive field-specific data to fully capture what's happening in the crop.

Establishing a better foundation

To solve this, we are conducting expansive crop response studies across various geographies to give us a new baseline for accurate soil analysis. By connecting Radicle Lab soil test values to yield response data from added fertilizer, you can have confidence that your recommendations are founded on proven methods for today's farms.
