What is SPORIMA

The microbiome layer
your inputs are missing

Biological inputs — biostimulants, biocontrol agents, biofertilisers — live or die by the microbial community they land in. SPORIMA reads that community using next-generation DNA sequencing and tells you exactly which products will thrive in your soil.

🧬
16S rRNA Sequencing
Full microbial community profiling at genus and species level from your soil or growing media.
📊
Diversity Analysis
Shannon, Simpson, Chao1 and beta diversity metrics across all treatment groups.
🎯
Compatibility Scoring
Each biological input scored 0–100 against your specific microbiome — know before you buy.
📋
Actionable Reports
Client-ready PDF reports with ranked recommendations and application guidance.
