Mapping Soil Life at Scale: 300,000 Nematodes and Counting
In the HAL24K Agri lab, soil life is being uncovered at unprecedented speed. Within 18 months, we now have accumulated over 300.000 images of individual nematodes, and it feels like we’ve only just begun.
Powered by AI and continuous soil data streams, our Life Monitor is revealing patterns and species that were invisible until now. Every day, new soil samples enter our lab. And with them, new discoveries. At this pace, 500,000 is already in sight.
Some nematodes recycle nutrients.
Some fight plant pathogens.
Some silently damage roots.
And many remain unknown.
Our data comes directly from a growing network of farmers, cooperatives, seed breeders, agri-labs and soil researchers who submit their samples for continuous analysis, across seasons, crops, and regions. But this is bigger than just us. If you’re working on soil biodiversity or nematode dynamics, in the field or in the lab, we’d love to connect. What could we learn together?
Soil intelligence starts below the surface.
That’s what drives us.
