The Solution

The grower completed a BeCrop® Test to check the biological quality of the soil. BeCrop® confirmed a low biological quality and the presence of only 1 disease risk in the soil, perhaps from the excess of crop protection inputs. Low soil bioactivity started to impact plant growth. Biome Makers agronomists recommended reducing and customizing crop protection practices to increase farm sustainability.

Results

The vine-grower was able to tailor his crop protection practices to the soil's needs. Overall, the vineyard increased farm sustainability and gained a huge advantage from BeCrop® with ROI: +170%.
