Make the soil microbiome visible — and work with it
Golf green soils host microbial communities that influence turf stability, stress tolerance, and disease dynamics (e.g., dollar spot, fusarium). TerraBiome Technologies uses molecular biology to turn this invisible ecosystem into operational insights, then designs a tailored strategy: diagnosis, selection, multiplication and re-inoculation.
- Reveal overall microbiome diversity
- Quantify principal pathogens and naturally occurring antagonists
- Guide the best long-term strategy to support soil functions
Why the microbiome is becoming a strategic lever
The soil microbiome drives principal functions (nutrient cycles, structure, microbial interactions). In highly managed systems, the intensity and diversity of inputs can also act as selective pressures, with unintended effects on microbial functions.
Disease & imbalances
Recurrent turf diseases may be facilitated by microbiological imbalances, where ecological functions (competition, network stability) are weakened.
Selection pressure
Recent work indicates that pesticide/input exposure can reshape community structure and impair microbial functions.
Turf resilience
A more functional soil ecosystem can support turf stability and stress tolerance, reducing the need for constant corrective actions.
Molecular biology: diversity, pathogens, and natural antagonists
TerraBiome Technologies combines molecular techniques to turn an invisible ecosystem into operational indicators: overall diversity, community structure, and targeted quantification of organisms of interest.
Reveal microbiome diversity
Environmental DNA profiling to describe bacterial and fungal community diversity and structure—beyond what culture-based methods capture.
Quantify organisms of interest
Targeted quantification (e.g., principal pathogens and naturally occurring antagonists) to prioritize actions and support a coherent microbial strategy.
What changes with this visibility
Lift the veil
The microbiome becomes measurable, comparable and trackable—no more “blind” decisions.
Better decisions
Results guide priorities, action sequencing, and follow-up adjustments.
Tailored approach
Every course is unique—TerraBiome Technologies adapts the microbial strategy to your context.
A 4-step approach
Diagnosis → selection → multiplication → re-inoculation, with a follow-up mindset to support soil functions.
1) Diagnosis
Targeted standardised sampling, molecular analyses, clear indicators and trends.
2) Selection
Reasoned selection of microbial directions/organisms of interest, consistent with your context.
3) Multiplication
Preparation of tailored solutions with a focus on robust implementation.
4) Re-inoculation
Targeted application integrated into practices, follow-up and adjustments.
