One reads soil for companies deciding what to do with their ground. The other reads it for biology nobody has found yet.

Erdaphon-1 combines our soil analysis, remote sensing and your own field data to find where your fields fall short. We test it on your land, then you scale what works and we re-measure every season.
FRONTIERBioassets
Early stage, built with partners
We search soil biology for candidates for new biological products, from what nature already evolved to assets we design together.
Hof Köpke“The analyses from Soilytix showed me which soils are best suited for potatoes. This allowed me to select my fields in a targeted way and position the crop optimally.”
KWSWorking with Soilytix combines scientific depth with the responsiveness we expect from a trusted partner. They take complex soil questions and turn them into structured data we can act on across our pipeline.
Landwirtschaftskammer Schleswig-HolsteinSoilytix's analyses and expert guidance help us rigorously evaluate complex questions around sustainability and the soil impact of different nursery production systems, giving us the insights we need to drive the sector forward.
Maschinenring EHWWith the Soilytix software, we can organize sampling much more efficiently. All steps are digitally documented, the data flows directly into the system without detours, and we save ourselves a lot of rework
Finck Stiftung / Gut & BöselThe Soilytix analyses provide us with solid scientific insights into the impact of our regenerative agriculture practices. We conducted a microbiome analysis in a diverse agroforestry system and, based on the composition of the bacterial, fungal, and microfauna communities, can draw conclusions about the influence of the trees on soil health and resilience.
Game Conservancy DeutschlandI really enjoy working with Soilytix, both privately with my own institute and through the Game Conservancy Deutschland. First of all, we receive state-of-the-art support, both in terms of data analysis and, of course, laboratory work. It's absolutely outstanding — the personal service is always available, no matter the time of day. We are extremely satisfied with the collaboration and the support that Soilytix provides us virtually around the clock.
YphenI'm a research and development manager at Yphen, a French startup that develops biosolutions for soil remediation. We started working with Soilytix to characterize the metagenomic profile and biological functions of our soil, particularly to identify species that may be able to remediate it. Needless to say, Soilytix’s dashboard, and especially their customer support — has been excellent. We’re really looking forward to deepening our collaboration and building an even better pipeline for soil analysis.
N.U. AgrarNew analytical methods allow us, as an independent consulting and research company, to see crop production from new perspectives. We uncover relationships that were once hidden and build the basis for ongoing improvements in sustainable arable farming. The soil’s microbial world is fascinating – and complex. Understanding it and turning insights into actionable, reliable recommendations requires a strong data basis. Reliable data collection and its clear presentation for accurate evaluation are the reasons why we work with Soilytix.
LWG BayernAs part of our research at the Bavarian State Institute for Viticulture and Horticulture, we have been working with Soilytix for some time. The comprehensive laboratory analysis they provide enables us to investigate complex questions within the Competence Center for Organic Horticulture project. With Soilytix, we can assess the effects of soil cultivation in vegetable production and the influence of cover crops on soil organisms. The detailed data preparation and the personal support we receive help us gain valuable insights for our work.
One reference dataset. Your field data. Erdaphon-1 translates both into an indicator or recommender that shows where each field can do better.
Your fields, management history, your yields and trials, our soil analysis and satellite imagery.

Erdaphon-1
Tells you when to put nitrogen on each field, so the fertiliser you already buy feeds the crop rather than the soil life competing with it.
Ranks candidate fields for a given seed lot, so multiplication goes where the soil-borne risk is lowest and lots come back clean.
Flags which fields carry more pathogen pressure than comparable ground, so you can move the crop or the treatment before the season commits you.
Scores your land against comparable sites and shows which way it is moving, so you can prove the direction to a funder, a buyer or a board.

Four models, from 25 million to 624 million parameters, trained on 67 billion base pairs of long-read soil genomes. Best in its class on public benchmarks, LOAM turns raw DNA sequence into actionable biological representations to help partners more efficiently mine and develop tomorrow's solutions.
