The client completed a BeCrop® Test using 2 samples to compare an area with healthy crops and an area with stunted growth. BeCrop suggested a salinity issue as the cause of the problem. Bacillus cereus, involved with salt tolerance mechanisms, was detected only in the healthy samples. BeCrop recommended biological products containing microorganisms involved with salinity tolerance.

Biome Makers agronomists provided the grower with a diagnosis and a list of recommendations, including irrigation practices and the application of a biological product to reduce farm operation costs and increase yield.
