Horticulture trial, Bali, Indonesia
Bali, Indonesia
A four-arm randomised trial testing the Phi Tech protocol across four vegetable crops with different growth cycles, measured monthly against a control on a working organic farm.
A randomised trial across four crops at once
On a working organic farm in Bali, Phi Earth is running a controlled randomised trial to test the Phi Tech protocol across four vegetable crops with different growth cycles. The trial measures the protocol's effect on yield, crop loss, cost, and time to harvest under real farm conditions.
The trial is asset-light. The host provides the land and operations, and Phi Earth provides the protocol, the digital infrastructure, and the deployment method. Phi Earth integrates partner biological inputs and owns the data and documentation layer. The digital twin runs its first deployments on sites like this one.
Controlled, replicated, and independently baselined
- Controlled designFour arms (control, farm practice, Phi Tech protocol, and a combined arm), twelve plots, three per arm, with colour-coded markers.
- Four crops at onceSpinach, broccolini, carrot, and chili, spanning short to long growth cycles.
- Five measured indicatorsYield per square metre, crop loss, cost per kilogram, cost per square metre, and time to harvest, tracked monthly against baseline.
- Independent baselineSoil pH, electrical conductivity, and organic matter measured at day zero by an accredited laboratory.
Running now, across the crop cycles
The trial is running now, with data collection underway across the crop cycles. Results are published once third-party verified.
-
Day zero
Independent baseline
Soil pH, electrical conductivity, and organic matter measured by an accredited laboratory before planting, to anchor every later reading.
-
In progress
Monthly measurement
The five indicators tracked monthly against baseline across the four crops, each on its own growth cycle.
-
On verification
Publication
Results are published once third-party laboratory analysis is complete. Phi Earth does not self-certify.
Five indicators, monthly, against the control
We measure the five indicators above against the control arm, monthly: yield per square metre, crop loss, cost per kilogram, cost per square metre, and time to harvest. Soil pH, electrical conductivity, and organic matter are measured at day zero as an independent baseline.
Samples go to a third-party laboratory. Phi Earth does not self-certify, and results are published once verified.

Run a pilot like this on your land
We work with landowners and operators who want properly instrumented trials with a verifiable methodology. If you have a site, that is where the conversation starts.
