The Radicle Experience
Summer Agronomy Conference 2025
Key Takeaways
- RFID-enabled GeoTubes store sample data like GPS location, date, and collector info—no stickers or handwriting needed.
- GeoPress automation allows users to sample without removing gloves or interacting with the app in the field.
- Real-time mapping shows completed and pending sample points, reducing confusion and improving coverage.
- Radicle Lab can process samples the same day, with minimal operator input—just load tubes and hit “play.”
- Lab results are viewable in-app and exportable in multiple formats for easy integration with other systems.
What to Expect
At the 2025 Summer Agronomy Conference, the Radicle team unveiled our approach to soil sampling that’s designed to simplify, streamline, and supercharge how farmers and agronomists collect and analyze soil data. Led by Adam Vaccari, Eli Sloneker, and Wendy Ulrich, the presentation walked through the full soil sampling journey—from planning and collection to lab analysis and data export—and introduced solutions from Radicle Agronomics that make the process faster, more accurate, and more accessible.
Whether you're a seasoned agronomy business owner, a farmer who samples occasionally, or someone just curious about getting started, Radicle’s ecosystem offers a solution tailored to your needs. The goal? Better tools, better data, and ultimately, better fertility decisions.
Radicle App
The Radicle App is your starting point. It allows users to easily create or import sampling plans, navigate fields, and sync data across devices. Whether you're on a desktop, tablet, or phone, the experience is seamless—and there’s no extra subscription cost.
GeoPress & GeoPress Lite
GeoPress is a game-changer for in-field sample labeling and packaging. It automates blending, labeling, and tracking of soil samples using RFID-enabled GeoTubes. GeoPress Lite offers a more compact, customizable version for smaller operations or unique setups.
Radicle Lab
The fully automated Radicle Lab can be installed in a 12x14 ft climate-controlled space and requires only basic utilities and chemical inputs. It analyzes samples for key nutrients like phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and pH. Results sync directly to the app, with options to export as shapefiles, CSVs, or PDFs.
Why It Matters
Traditional soil sampling is time-consuming and error-prone. Radicle’s integrated system eliminates manual labeling, reduces mistakes, and speeds up turnaround time. Whether you're sampling thousands of acres or just a few fields, Radicle helps you make confident, data-driven decisions.
