Biome Makers is aiming to help change the agricultural industry by assisting input manufacturers in validating and optimizing the performance of their biological inputs on the soil microbiome. Rhett Cinquini, a fifth-generation farmer and Head of U.S. Business Development & Agriculture at LIVENTIA Biostimulants, has personally seen the proof.

In collaboration with Biome Makers, Cinquini conducted a series of BeCrop soil tests in multiple almond and walnut fields at different time points throughout the year. The results were astounding, according to Cinquini.

The BeCrop soil tests revealed significant boosts in tree development, increased root growth, optimized nutrient potential, and decreased farm costs within just six weeks of implementing recommendations based on the BeCrop soil data.

These findings not only validated the effectiveness of LIVENTIA’s products, but also provided valuable insights for further optimization.

Cinquini says, “BeCrop is a metric of impact. It measures the impact of our products on the soil and the crop. The soil biology data tells us when and where it is most efficient to apply LIVENTIA products. Being able to use BeCrop has been a huge advantage for us and really solidifies us as a reputable company in the biological space.”
