Terra Nova Research, LLC

Revolutionizing sandy soil agriculture through water conservation technology, massively increasing growers' yields.

We terraform sandy soils so growers can survive and thrive in water-restricted areas. Our patent-pending machine allows for the installation of sub-surface water-retaining membranes to keep needed water in the plant root zone for many days, versus mere hours, in sand. This access to needed water allows the plants to thrive and put their energy to the shoot and not the root, dramatically increasing yields for anything planted over the membranes. Our most recent field trials in West Texas cotton country yielded a 105% increase in lint compared to the control plants in the same field. Similar, and even larger, increases have been seen in tomatoes, peppers, corn, soybeans, and other row and field crops. We are raising funds to bring our beta-model prototype to the fields for larger installations and further yield-increase validations. We have growers that will host us for 10-acre installations of both traditional blown-film membranes as well as a new compostable film that will require replacement after some years in the field. Given the level of disruption we can cause, we are also necessarily keeping our profile minimized online and offline until our intellectual property is secured, so you won't find us easily. For that I apologize.
