About

Trace Genomics, now operating under Miraterra, is an advanced agricultural AI platform that harnesses high-definition genomic sequencing and soil science to unlock measurable, data-driven insights for modern agriculture. Designed for both growers and agronomists, the platform analyses soil biology—including living microorganisms, pathogens, and nutrient cycles—to support smarter decisions across every phase of the growing season. The product portfolio includes TraceCOMPLETE, a total soil intelligence solution covering 225+ pathogens and 70+ crops; TracePHOS for phosphorus management and biofertilizer placement; TraceN for nitrogen stabilizer and biofertilizer guidance; TraceCHEM for comprehensive macro and micro nutrient chemistry analysis; and TraceCARBON for soil carbon tracking. Together, these tools help identify which fields will respond best to specific products, enabling precision placement of biologicals, fertilizers, and seed treatments. Clients report $105+/acre increased revenue from seed selection guidance and $85+/acre from seed treatment optimization. Agronomists use the platform to differentiate their services, place the right inputs on the right acres, and build grower loyalty through data-backed recommendations. With year-round decision support compatible with both spring and winter planting schedules, Trace Genomics empowers agricultural professionals to boost productivity, reduce input waste, and advance soil health at scale.

Key Features

TraceCOMPLETE Soil Intelligence: A comprehensive soil analysis solution that identifies 225+ pathogens across 70+ crops using high-definition genomic sequencing for unmatched pathogen and nutrient insights.
Seed Solution Guide: Data-driven seed selection and seed treatment recommendations based on real soil biology data, helping growers capture $105+/acre in additional revenue.
Nutrient Management (TracePHOS & TraceN): Precision phosphorus and nitrogen management tools that identify where biofertilizers, stabilizers, or nutrient-liberating agents will deliver the greatest return.
Comprehensive Soil Chemistry (TraceCHEM): Full macro and micro nutrient chemistry analysis covering P, K, S, Zn, Mg, Ca, Mn, Fe, pH, organic matter, and more to inform fertility management decisions.
Year-Round Decision Support: Actionable soil insights available throughout the growing year, compatible with both spring and winter planting schedules, enabling timely management decisions at any stage.

Use Cases

Optimizing seed selection and seed treatment decisions based on field-specific pathogen and soil biology data to maximize crop establishment and yield.
Guiding precision phosphorus and nitrogen input placement to reduce waste, lower input costs, and improve fertilizer ROI across variable-rate application zones.
Identifying which fields and acres will be highest responders to specific biological or chemical products, enabling targeted and profitable input allocation.
Empowering agronomists and agronomy sales teams to provide differentiated, data-driven recommendations that build grower trust and loyalty.
Tracking and managing soil carbon and comprehensive soil chemistry to support sustainability reporting and long-term soil health restoration programs.

Pros

Proven Revenue Impact: Documented results of $105+/acre increased revenue from seed selection and $85+/acre from seed treatment guidance provide measurable ROI for growers.
Unmatched Pathogen Coverage: Analysis of 225+ pathogens across 70+ crops gives growers and agronomists the most detailed soil biology picture available in commercial agriculture.
Comprehensive Product Suite: A full portfolio of products covering pathogens, phosphorus, nitrogen, chemistry, and carbon allows users to address every major soil health concern from a single platform.
Supports Both Growers and Agronomists: Tailored insights for end-user growers as well as agronomists and agronomy sales teams, enabling differentiated services and stronger client loyalty.

Cons

Premium Per-Acre Pricing: Starting at $105+/acre, the cost may be prohibitive for smaller or subsistence farming operations with thin margins.
Agriculture-Specific Focus: The platform is purpose-built for agricultural soil management and offers no value outside of farming, agronomy, or related land-management contexts.
Requires Physical Soil Sampling: Generating insights depends on submitting soil samples for laboratory genomic sequencing, which introduces lead time and logistical overhead compared to purely digital tools.

Frequently Asked Questions

Trace Genomics is a soil intelligence platform whose assets were acquired by Miraterra. Together, the combined entity focuses on advancing soil-to-table measurement and insights to support sustainable agriculture and global soil health restoration.

Trace uses high-definition genomic sequencing on soil samples to detect living microorganisms, pathogens, and biological nutrient indicators. The results are translated into actionable management reports covering seed selection, nutrient management, and more.

TraceCOMPLETE covers more than 70 crops and detects 225+ pathogens, making it one of the most comprehensive soil pathogen analysis tools commercially available.

Agronomists can use Trace data to differentiate their services, place the right biological and chemical inputs on the right acres, identify the cause of yield deficiencies, and strengthen grower loyalty through data-backed recommendations.

Trace Genomics operates on a per-acre pricing model. TraceCOMPLETE starts at approximately $105+/acre. Products can be purchased via their online store, and prospective customers can contact the team directly for volume or enterprise pricing.
