PRM BIOS at Noroian Farms Alfalfa: Early Field Performance
We’re excited to share early results from a side-by-side pilot at Noroian Farms, showcasing the impact of PRM BIOS on alfalfa fields.
These fields received identical seed, inputs, planting date, and irrigation, with the only difference being one application of PRM BIOS treatment (see right photo). Just 4 days post-irrigation, early observations highlight measurable benefits in soil and crop performance:
Key Early Observations
- Improved soil structure with reduced crusting and cracking
- Increased water infiltration, allowing water to reach roots more effectively
- Enhanced ground cover percentage for stronger early stand
- More uniform seed emergence, breaking through the surface consistently
- Early signs of boosted biological activity visible in soil behavior
PRM BIOS improves soil function, resilient crops, and improved resource efficiency throughout the season.
This pilot is the start of a multi-year study, where PRM will monitor soil regeneration with BIOS across the lifespan of the alfalfa field. Key outcomes we’re tracking include:
- Water efficiency and infiltration
- Plant health and uniformity
- Crop yield and quality
- ROI for the grower
We are especially grateful to the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California and WaterSTART for their involvement and funding of this project, their support is helping make this important research possible.
We’ll continue to provide updates as this project progresses, demonstrating how biology-first solutions can transform soil and crop performance over time.
