Sound Agriculture (Sound) is a research and development company that designs agriculture innovation resources for growers, allowing plant production methods that hold up to unpredictable environmental challenges. Plant growers have the opportunity to consult with Sound to produce more food, despite hostile growing environments. Sound also provides sustainable plant breeding without changes to DNA and overuse of synthetic fertilizers.
Sound's most successful growth method is an innovative application called SOURCE. SOURCE is a microbiome activator that allows plants to grow in nitrogen and phosphorus-deficient fields.
Sound's SOURCE growing microbiome activator's current application: corn and soybeans. Sound's recent research states that wheat, cotton, and rice are currently under review for optimal results.
Enviromental Impact
Nitrogen reduction working to replace up to 700,000 units of nitrogen, or 3.4 million units of CO2, across 25,000 acres of fields throughout the U.S. The goal, reducing 30% of global nitrogen fertilizer (the equivalent of removing 200 million cars from the road).
Increase soil microbial activity, reduce nitrogen loss, and in many cases may see an increase in yield.
