- Type
- not stated
- Format
- Structured tabular laboratory results — per-sample analyte panels with method identifiers, delivered as research datasets and commercial lab reports. Cross-project standardisation to a single laboratory method is the format's real value, since it makes otherwise-incompatible trial series comparable.
- Volume
- Stated: thousands of soil and plant samples analysed for research each year, with the corn nitrogen partnership alone contributing thousands of soil and plant samples from eight universities. Including the commercial producer testing book at a laboratory of this size, a reasonable bound is 10^5-10^6 samples over the operating life, each carrying a multi-analyte panel — so 10^6-10^7 measured values, of which the soil-biology subset is small but disproportionately scarce.
- Users
- est. hundreds of accounts — ag retail and agronomy businesses plus research institutions and government programmes (bounded by a ~40-employee, ~$10M-revenue laboratory with a documented institutional client list including Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and at least ten universities across the US and Canada)
- History
- 30 years
- Update frequency

- Growth
- Active — the firm is currently contracted on federally funded research (the USDA-NIFA SCRI Potato Soil Health Project across eight states) and continues to court research submissions as an explicit service line, with an institutional client roster spanning both countries.
- Launched
- est. 1990s (the page frames AGVISE's research role against a 30-year wave of university-operated soil testing laboratory closures it filled, implying the firm was established by then and operating through that consolidation), with its soil-health biological assay line materially newer, added with the wave of soil-health research in the 2010s
