COMPARE

What makes healthy soil different?

Healthy soil is alive. Explore the biological differences between underperforming and healthy soil — from microbial activity to structure and root interaction.

Drag the divider or use the arrow keys to compare the two illustrative soil environments.

STRUCTURE Underperforming soil is illustrated with denser structure and limited pore space.

ROOT ZONE Healthy soil is illustrated with more open structure and root exploration.

Microorganisms interact with roots and organic matter, contributing to nutrient cycling and soil functions.

01

Microbial activity

Microbial communities contribute to nutrient cycling and biological soil functions.

02

Soil structure

Soil aggregation and pore spaces influence the movement of air and water.

03

Root interaction

Root networks interact with their surrounding biological environment.

DIAGNOSE

We identify what the
soil is missing.

By comparing your soil's microbiome profile with a suitable reference, we can investigate biological differences and the microorganisms that may need support.

A reference is chosen for comparable conditions. The example below uses illustrative units to explain the diagnostic logic.

Where does the difference lie?

YOUR SAMPLEThe sample to understandYour soil

Example: healthy soil 100, your soil 45; combined difference 55 illustrative units.

The differences we identify become the starting point for a targeted biological strategy.

See how we prioritize

Microorganism A–E are illustrative groups, not named species. Values are illustrative units, not lab results or treatment doses. The healthy soil standard depends on crop and site.

PRIORITIZE

From microbial gaps to
targeted priorities.

The differences identified in your soil help us prioritize the microorganisms furthest from the standard and evaluate biological inputs suited to the site's needs.

The same five microorganisms and values continue from the comparison. A percentage guides investigation; it is not an input dose.

Priorities

The gaps suggest
where to look first.

Each percentage shows how much of the healthy soil standard your soil reaches for that microorganism. It describes review priority, never a product recipe or promised outcome.

Selected microorganism

Microorganism A: your soil has 12 of 30 units, 40% of the healthy soil standard.

Each soil has its own biological signature. Evaluate support that makes sense for its conditions.

Revisit the diagnosis

Illustrative model only. Percentages compare your soil with an illustrative healthy soil standard. Input selection also depends on crop, soil chemistry, native communities, viability, formulation, and field feasibility. The percentages are not a microbial mixture proportion or dosage.

From your data to a biome built for your soil.

We use your microorganism results to design a TERAbiom solution that helps bring your soil closer to healthy soil.
