See how your
soil lives.
Solum reads the behavior of your soil: how its microbial community shifts with climate, chemistry, and management, how its diversity becomes a signature of resilience or stress, and how likely a biological is to take hold. It never stops learning, so the picture stays alive.
Soil is life. Solum turns that life into evidence you can act on.

What Solum reads
Every soil is a response to its conditions. Solum reads that response.
Geography
where the field sits, and the native system it belongs to
Soil chemistry
the measured conditions the community lives in
Land management
what tillage, inputs, and cropping have done to it
Environment
the climate and conditions the soil answers to
History
how the system was worked, and what changed it
The microbiome
who is there now, and what they do
It holds each field up against its native baseline, reads its diversity as the signature of a system under resilience or stress, and turns that into a probability you can act on: what your soil likely was, how far management has moved it, and whether a biological is likely to help.
A live look
See the engine read a soil, in real time.
Move the controls to match a field: its chemistry, its management, and this season's climate stress. Solum reads the probable state of the living community, whether a biological is likely to take hold, and what to do before you reach for one. This is a preview of the interface.
Interactive preview. Model-estimated and indicative (v1.1): an expert-encoded, transparent threshold model, not a promise of outcome.
From the engine to your field
Four ways to use Solum.
Start free on the engine, then run Solum on your own soil, cover several fields, or understand soil biology at scale. The engine stays free; you pay only when Solum runs on your soil.
Play the engine
Try Solum right here, free and with no sign-up or data. Move the sliders to describe a soil, its chemistry, its management, and this season's climate, and watch the engine estimate the state of its living community, its functional regime, and how resilient or stressed it is. A hands-on way to understand how soils respond, yours to explore as often as you like.

Run it on your soil analysis
Send your existing soil analysis report (the lab results you already have, as a PDF or photo) and your field's location. No need to collect or mail soil. You receive a full Solum report: a microbiome health score, your soil's degradation risk and functional regime, the specific chemical, physical, and management factors driving those results, and clear, practical steps to improve it. Written in plain language, grounded in your real numbers, delivered as a PDF you keep.

Cover many fields
For growers, agronomists, and consultants working across several areas: run Solum on up to six fields or samples at a better rate per report. Each field gets its own full report, so you can compare soils side by side, see which areas are thriving or degrading, and plan management across a whole operation.
Better rate per field
For companies and research
For organizations that need soil biology understood across many samples: cooperatives, input companies, research groups, and programs. Run Solum in volume or connect by API, with results structured for your own analysis. We tailor the scope, format, and delivery to your project.
Custom, let's talk

How it works
One pipeline, real chemistry, compared to nature.
One backbone, no guesswork.
Every study is reprocessed through a single pipeline and mapped to one reference taxonomy, so a genus in Brazil means the same thing as a genus in Canada. Every value traces back to its source.
Paired with real chemistry.
Each sample is matched to the nearest measured soil-chemistry profile, and you see how close that match is: on-sample, or within 5, 10, or 25 km. Precision is a dial you control.
Compared to nature.
Solum holds each agricultural soil up against its native baseline, so you see what management depleted and how far the system has drifted. This comparison is the difference, and it leads.
What you get
One soil intelligence report, built for a decision.
Solum's logic is an expert-encoded, transparent threshold model (version 1.1), deliberately auditable rather than a black box. Every reading traces back to its source.
- 2,680 soils reprocessed through Solum's own pipeline (reads to ASVs to taxonomy), 1,620 of them from tropical soils
- 1,208 bacterial genera normalized to one backbone (GTDB R232); 58 functional guilds (FAPROTAX)
- Soil chemistry linked from national databases (FEBR, KSSL); microbiome reads from public archives (ENA)

Recommend management, not a product. Sometimes Solum will tell you your soil already has what it needs, or that the answer is not a biological at all. That honest no is the point, and the credibility difference.
Who it is for
Farmers and agronomists deciding what a field actually needs. Researchers who want their science grounded in real soils. Companies validating where, and whether, their product fits.
