What happened
Third-party laboratory testing was conducted on agricultural soils collected from California’s Central Coast and Central Valley. The testing evaluated Unpac, a glycolipid-based soil conditioner developed by Locus Agriculture. The results showed that Unpac reduced soil density and improved water penetration through the soil profile compared with untreated water.

Why it matters
Soil compaction is a recognized resource concern, identified by growers in 22% of surveyed wheat, soybean, oat, and cotton fields. Locus Agriculture is expanding the use of Unpac to address this issue, which can limit root development and crop performance.
