01Scope & Design
Define the research question, treatments, controls, target crop and soils, sampling plan, and measures of success.
Prove it in the field, not just the lab.
Your Partner for Field-Validation
Partner with Aurum to accelerate your R&D, product validation, customer reach, grant submissions, and geographic expansion. Collaborate with us to run agricultural trials for real-world validation across diverse soils, crops, and microbial environments.
Ideal for
- Universities & Research Institutions: Academic teams looking for field sites, analytical capabilities, microbial sequencing, or industry collaboration.
- Government & Grant-Funded Programs: Federal, state, and other publicly funded projects requiring applied research, demonstration trials, or environmental validation.
- Agricultural Input & Biological Companies: Fertilizers, biologicals, soil amendments, inoculants, biochar, and other products that need independent field validation.
- AgTech & Soil Technology Companies: Diagnostics, sensors, irrigation technologies, decision-support tools, and other platforms that need real-world performance data.
- Restoration & Sustainability Partners: Organizations developing solutions for degraded land, resource recovery, soil restoration, and environmental resilience.
What partners receive
White-glove trial support from experimental design through final analysis and reporting.
- Trial design tailored to your product, crop, and target region
- Soil chemistry and microbiology
- Microbial community and molecular analysis, pathogen detection
- Clear findings to guide product development, sales strategy, and next-step validation
- Field execution, sampling, and growing-season data collection

02Field Sampling
Deploy the trial and collect baseline and in-season soil, plant, and field measurements according to the study design.
03Integrated Analysis
Combine soil chemistry, plant performance, and microbial data where relevant to measure treatment response and understand what drove it.
04Results & Next-Step Plan
Translate findings into clear conclusions, product-development and sales insights, and recommendations for the next stage of validation.
