Organicco Field Trial Farmer Collaboration


Organicco is seeking innovative farmers to partner with on a grant-funded practical field trial of Agri-dose, a drone-based system for precision application of ecoHERO granular biofertilizer. They are looking for farmers interested in testing practical technology that could deliver environmental benefits, nutritional benefits, and grow businesses.


Why is it valuable?

Fields often vary significantly within the same block. Soil condition, crop health, moisture,

biomass and nutrient need can all change from zone to zone. Farmers will work with our team in selecting a suitable field for trial. Our team will use Agridose to map field variation and assess how the variable dose application can help farmers target biofertilizer benefits and the subsequent crop response.

*The trial would be planned around normal farm operations, agreed access windows and clear safety requirements.


Potential value for the farm

  • More accurate placement of granular biofertiliser

  • Reduced unnecessary input use

  • Better understanding of within-field variability

  • Improved nutrient-use efficiency

  • Lower machinery burden for selected applications

  • Potential improvement in soil health 

  • Potential reduction in costs 

  • Potential increase in crop yield and growth 

  • Improve overall productivity and sustainability 

  • Data for future crop nutrition planning
