About Prolific Earth Sciences

Prolific Earth Sciences is an innovative diagnostic testing company based in Everett, Washington. Our mission is to enable soil stewards all over the world to use mobile technology and our cost-effective soil test, microBIOMETER®, to assess regenerative soil practices, improve soil health, and work towards increased soil carbon sequestration.

We believe that understanding the biology in your soil is crucially important — for producers tuning their practices, for researchers advancing soil science, and for gardeners who simply want healthier plants and a healthier planet. microBIOMETER® makes that understanding accessible and affordable.

Our product is trusted in over 100 countries by farmers, educators, scientists, and environmental stewards. By putting reliable microbial biomass data directly into the hands of the people working the land, we help them make informed decisions about soil management — building microbial communities, improving soil health, and increasing outputs while reducing inputs.

microBIOMETER® is a 20-minute on-site soil test that estimates microbial biomass and fungal-to-bacterial ratio using your smartphone. You test field-moist soil right where you are — no need to dry samples or ship them to a lab. The results come back in real time, giving you the most accurate snapshot of your soil's biological activity.

All your test data and locations are stored in a cloud portal where you can view, edit, and export results to Excel for deeper analysis or sharing with your team. You can create custom projects, invite team members, and track changes over time to see whether your soil management practices are making a difference.

Frequent retesting is the key. By monitoring microbial biomass over the course of a season — or year over year — you build a database that tells the story of your soil's health and helps you make smarter decisions going forward.
