Company's story
Our Specialty
PES Technologies has developed a game-changing soil health measurement tool
COMPREHENSIVE INFORMATION ON SOIL HEALTH
We work with leading industry and academic experts to provide farmers with the most comprehensive picture of soil health they can get. Our tool reports on a variety of biological, chemical and physical soil health indicators, including microbial biomass and soil organic matter content, by analysing the activities and diversity of a soil’s microbial community.
TEST WHILE IN THE FIELD
The PES sensor system is hand-held, battery powered, and controlled with a smartphone app. Soil samples are analysed directly in-field, and no sample preparation is required beyond putting soil into our tool. The entire process, from start to finish, only takes 5 minutes per sample – meaning you can see what’s going on below your feet, while you observe your field.
ONE TEST = MANY SOIL HEALTH INDICATORS
Rather than doing lots of different tests to get comprehensive information about soil health, you will only need to do one with our tool. By analysing the activities and diversity of a soil’s microbial community, we provide information about many soil health indicators; we are training it on microbial biomass and soil organic matter content.
RELIABLY RE-TEST WITH GPS TRACKING DATA
Every sample analysed by our tool also includes the GPS coordinates of where a sample is taken. This makes it easy to track how your soils’ health is changing over time, so you can decide whether what you are doing there is really working.

Our story
THE FUTURE OF SOIL HEALTH INTELLIGENCE
Poor soil health is a problem that is reducing the productivity and profitability of the agricultural industry worldwide – although yields should be increasing, declining soil health is lowering or limiting crop yields, decreasing the resilience of crops to pests and diseases, and making crops less drought resilient. The societal and climactic benefits of restoring soil health make it key to addressing many of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
Farmers are increasingly understanding that healthy soils are key to profitable farming. Healthy soil has more micro-organisms per gram than there are people on the planet – and without these living microbes, soil is not soil, but just dust.
There are many ways in which a soil’s health can be improved, but choosing the right way is key to a farm being as profitable as possible – and in order to maximise profitability, these choices need to be made as efficiently as possible.
PES Technologies has developed technology powering a game-changing soil health analysis tool, so that farmers and agronomists can make the right choices for their farms as efficiently as possible.
Founded in late 2017, PES Technologies received investment at the pen-and-paper stage to develop its proprietary sensor technology. Following the successful completion of a proof-of-concept study, PES began to develop its soil health analysis product around its revolutionary technology.
PES is currently leading multiple publicly funded projects to develop its product, partnering with some of the leading voices in industry and academia to guide it along the way.
By developing a tool that will re-define soil testing, PES will make sustainable, profitable farming a reality every farmer can afford.
