To predict your soil’s microbiome, Blomso sometimes calibrates our models using metagenomic amplicon sequencing from selected soil samples. This gives us a ground-truth snapshot of microbial species and abundance. Then, like with NIR, we use machine learning to extrapolate those biological patterns across the rest of your field using correlated data such as nutrient levels, pH, moisture, texture, weather, crop history, and management practices. This allows us to predict underground biology without needing to sample every zone.

For yield forecasting, we fuse this microbiome data which alone can explain up to 65% of yield variance with satellite imagery, weather models, and USDA field data to deliver per-field predictions months in advance, giving you time to act not react.

Our web portal gives you an interactive field map showing nutrient levels, predicted yield, risk zones, and a context aware AI Tilly that allows you to talk to your data. You’ll see prescriptive insights backed by AI, including fertilizer plans, watering guidance, and potential pest threats all in one live, easy-to-use view.

Request a free soil test kit through our website. Just send back small soil samples less than 5 grams. We scan your sample using our proprietary NIR + EC sensors, and where needed, calibrate those scans with traditional lab tests to ensure accuracy.

Blomso takes data privacy and security seriously. All soil and field data you share is encrypted and stored in secure AWS data lakes. We do not sell individual farm data.

Our long-term goal is to build a democratized, privacy-safe regional dataset that helps farmers, researchers, and agronomists collectively tackle issues like soil degradation, yield loss, and climate stress without compromising individual privacy. Any shared insights are anonymized and aggregated by region, never tied to you or your operation without your explicit permission.

We're still finalizing our data policies and exploring the legal landscape of agricultural data rights. As we grow, farmers will have clear options to opt in or out of research contributions or broader data-sharing programs. Our commitment is to empower, not exploit, farmers through ethical use of technology and data.

Every insight is tied to a recommendation. Whether it’s adjusting inputs, choosing seed rates, or prepping for a weather shift, Blomso translates your soil data into field-ready actions. Our system even lets you simulate choices digitally before you act in the real world. Our vision is building predictive intelligence that can show you the future and allow you the expert to take action to build resilient, climate resistent, sustainable farming, reducing inputs and maximizing yields.

Blomso’s system measures nutrient levels like total nitrogen, estimated nitrogen release, available phosphorus, available potassium, moisture, texture, pH, CEC, total carbon and organic matter using a combination of NIR and electrical conductivity (EC). While NIR provides fast, high-density data greater than 1 data point per 200 square meters, it still needs calibration using traditional lab results and cannot measure every soil property. For best results, we recommend testing key fields each season.

We pair field-collected NIR data with gold-standard lab results to calibrate and improve our models meeting the accuracy of traditional testing with a greater data resolution than the traditional 1 test every 2.5 acres. In pilot areas, this approach is projected to increase yield prediction accuracy by 10–15%. The system gets smarter over time by continuously learning from new soil data and outcomes across diverse farms.

NIR (Near-Infrared) spectroscopy provides rapid, non-destructive scans that measure certain soil properties, like moisture, organic matter, and texture. However, it doesn’t detect everything so we calibrate NIR data using traditional lab results to improve reliability. Once calibrated, NIR allows much denser sampling across your fields, revealing variability that lab tests alone would miss.
