Description
With worldwide competition and a myriad of challenges, advancements in technology have long been a key to financial health on the farm.While earlier breakthroughs were largely centered on machinery, the information revolution is playing a greater role in growing crops.Redox Bio-Nutrients has partnered with Canada-based ChrysaLabs and their real-time soil analysis technology. ChrysaLabs has developed a portable AI-based soil health probe that measures 37 soil nutrients and characteristics, delivering data for producers and agronomists in a matter of seconds, instead of traditional lab analysis, which takes several days.Recently, three members of the ChrysaLabs team visited our headquarters and research farm in Burley, Idaho. They met with Redox management and learned more about how our company provides effective, efficient technology to agriculture.Co-founder and CEO, Samuel Fornier said the company launched, after a need was identified to get faster soil analysis data.“We tried to identify how growers and agronomists got their soil information and realized that nothing was existing except brick-and-mortar labs,” he said. “So, we decided to make a leap of faith directly in this market, and bring innovation that would provide more information to growers, to bring more sustainability in agriculture.”Through this partnership, Redox agronomists are utilizing ChrysaLabs probes on several farms in different parts of the U.S., including fields, vineyards, and orchards of California, Idaho, the Southeast, and the Pacific Northwest.
