Problem
Farmers face challenges in optimizing crop inputs due to a lack of comprehensive understanding of soil biology, pest and pathogen risks, and nutrient availability, leading to suboptimal yields and increased costs. Traditional soil analysis methods often provide limited insights into these critical factors.
Solution
Pattern Ag provides predictive agronomy solutions by analyzing soil biology to forecast key field outcomes with high confidence. The company's services enable farmers to make informed decisions regarding seed selection, crop protection, and fertility plans. By measuring the presence and abundance of organisms impacting these plans, Pattern Ag helps optimize input spend, mitigate risks, and achieve top-end yields. Their analysis generates millions of genetic reads, acting as biosensors to provide critical information about the field's condition.
Target Audience
Pattern Ag serves corn, soybean, and cotton growers, as well as crop advisors seeking advanced soil analysis for informed decision-making.
