Soil measurement reimagined

Miraterra is digitizing and simplifying soil measurement, providing comprehensive data and insights in a fraction of the time and cost of conventional methods

TRANSFORMATIONAL FOR LABS

Testing soil is essential to soil health and it’s really hard work

Conventional soil testing: costly equipment, labor-intensive procedures, and a time-consuming sample preparation process. Additionally, the use of hazardous inputs introduces complexity in waste disposal, all adding to increased operational expenses.

SOIL INSIGHT AT THE PUSH OF A BUTTTON

How we digitize soil testing

Innovative technology reads the molecular fingerprint of your soil, providing accurate and precise information about the complete chemistry of every sample. 

We’re building our capacity to pair data with insights generated from millions of data points and generations of farming expertise.

  • Raman spectroscopy analyzes scattered light for molecular identification and characterization

  • Leveraging advanced signal processing, computational chemistry, and machine learning, we achieve remarkable soil component identification down to parts-per-million precision

  • To ensure quality, we “ground truth” our novel sensor with results from our ALP-proficient soil testing lab

TRUST MATTERS

How we deliver accuracy and precision

At Miraterra, trust is established through our scientific approach, rigorous testing, and data-centric methods. By combining novel hardware, computational chemistry, machine learning, and real-world data, we accurately determine soil composition at the parts-per-million level. Here's how we achieve it:

With computational chemistry, we created the world’s largest dataset of synthetic soil models representing soils worldwide so we can analyze each nutrient’s signature in the models. We then calibrate our synthetic soil models with real-world readings from our sensor.

We demonstrate instrument precision through repeat runs on our non-destructive process.

Millions of machine learning models compare sensor and synthetic data to lab results. We then ensure reliability through rigorous testing on thousands of soil samples using traditional instruments, aligning theory and practice.

We participate in soil lab proficiency programs like ALP and NAPT guaranteeing accurate results within their acceptable ranges.
