The SOBAC concept is not a claim, it is a body of evidence. Over more than thirty years it has been studied, measured and validated by leading research institutes, official agencies, independent laboratories and universities across Europe.
When you trial Bacteriosol or Bacteriolit on your land, you are adopting a method that the institutions below have put under controlled, comparative scrutiny. To help you place each one, we have added the closest UK equivalent, so the credibility translates clearly for British farmers.
France's National Institute for Agricultural Research, the largest publicly funded agricultural research organisation in Europe. INRA ran the long term manure evolution trial at Exmes that showed Bacteriolit halved dry matter losses.
The leading Paris graduate school for life, food and environmental sciences. Its experimental farm ran the heifer manure study and, alongside ADEME, measured the lower greenhouse footprint of Bacteriosol production.
France's statutory network of regional agricultural chambers, providing technical advice to farmers and running official field trials. The Meurthe et Moselle chambers conducted the wheat and malt barley trials on nitrogen reduction.
The French technical institute for poultry and livestock farming. ITAVI monitored the henhouse study that recorded an 82 percent reduction in nitrogen lost to the air when Bacteriolit was applied to litter.
France's national environment and energy management agency. Its measurements, made with AgroParisTech, established that producing Bacteriosol contributes well over twice less to the greenhouse effect than any nitrogen fertiliser.
The independent Centre for Agronomic Research and Experimentation of Eastern Belgium, directed by Pierre Luxen, a European authority on organic matter. AGRA-OST ran the multi year meadow productivity and winter nitrogen preservation trials.
An accredited soil and agronomic analysis laboratory in Toulouse. Lara Europe quantified the rise in stable humic acids and the reduction in nitrogen leaching achieved with the Bacteriolit concept.
France's national institute for the vine and wine sector, supporting the viticulture trials that underpin SOBAC's results across French wine regions.
A German university whose Witzenhausen campus hosts one of Europe's foremost faculties of organic and ecological agriculture, lending international academic weight to the concept.
The Faculty of Sciences Semlalia in Marrakech, contributing soil science and microbiology research that tested the concept under hot, dry climates.
A public research university in Amiens contributing to the soil microbiology research behind the SOBAC micro organism complex.
A regional innovation and technology transfer centre specialising in the valorisation and treatment of organic waste, helping move laboratory findings into farm practice.
An agricultural vocational training body, helping carry the science into the next generation of farmers and advisers.
The French regional state directorates for the environment, development and industrial regulation. It was the DREAL of Brittany that officially recognised Bacteriolit as a natural process for treating manure and slurry.
The regional government bodies of SOBAC's home territory in southern France, which have supported the development and field validation of the technology.
France's public investment bank, which supports innovation in small and medium enterprises. Its backing recognised SOBAC's work as a genuine innovation worth scaling.
These partners are the reason we can talk about results, not promises. See how that science plays out on real farms across the UK and Europe.
