Farming is challenging, and finding solutions that work in the field takes rigorous testing and real-world insight. Rooted Research exists to help farmers thrive. We generate practical, science-based insights that support effective, sustainable solutions for real-world production systems.

Located in the heart of California agriculture, we collaborate with farmers, ag startups, and academic researchers to evaluate solutions that drive productivity,  and support the long-term success of farms. We work with companies ranging from early-stage startups to established manufacturers, supporting everything from product development to market validation. Our work spans both contract research and grant-funded trials, combining scientific rigor with deep knowledge of California’s specialty cropping systems.

Our services include:
-Efficacy trials for new products and technologies
-Soil health and amendment evaluations
-Biological input testing (biostimulants, biopesticides, etc.)
-GLP-compliant residue and regulatory trials
-Irrigation and nutrient management studies
-Field demonstrations and grower-focused outreach
