METERA SSi™ Technology

Smarter product selection for the METERA range.

SSi™ Technology is the product intelligence layer behind METERA. It is designed to help customers and distributors understand which METERA product pathway may fit their soil, plant, pressure and use-area context.

Positioning note: SSi™ Technology supports METERA product selection and programme guidance. It does not guarantee product outcomes or replace soil testing, field observation, professional advice or good management.

What it is

A METERA product intelligence system.

SSi™ Technology helps organise METERA products by role, use area, site context and product pathway.

Rather than choosing products by guesswork, SSi™ supports a simple product selection logic: understand the need, choose the pathway, then match the product where suitable.

Plain English: SSi™ Technology helps guide which METERA product may fit the situation. It is about product clarity, not automatic product promises.

METERA product pathways

SSi™ starts with product role.

METERA products are organised into Soil, Plant and Protect pathways. SSi™ Technology helps connect the customer’s need to the right pathway before selecting a product.

METERA Soil

Soil biology support.

For situations where the priority is microbial activity, soil profile support, carbon support or broader soil biology programme fit.

METERA Plant

Plant function support.

For situations where the priority is root, shoot, plant function or growth-stage support within a broader programme.

METERA Protect

Pressure support.

For situations where fungal, nematode, seasonal or management pressure may require a targeted support pathway.

How SSi™ works

From site context to product pathway.

SSi™ Technology is designed to simplify METERA product selection by using a role-first process.

1. Use area

Identify the setting.

Agriculture, turf, lawn, garden, contractor programme or managed landscape.

2. Site context

Understand conditions.

Consider soil condition, water, season, current inputs, pressure history and management.

3. Product need

Clarify the role.

Decide whether the main need is soil support, plant function support or pressure support.

4. Product match

Choose the pathway.

Connect the need to the most suitable METERA Soil, Plant or Protect pathway.

5. Programme fit

Apply with context.

Position the product within the broader soil, plant, water and management programme.

6. Review

Observe and adjust.

Track site response, application timing and management conditions over time.

Product intelligence

How SSi™ connects to the METERA range.

SSi™ helps explain product fit by matching each METERA product to its role in the broader range.

METERA product SSi™ pathway Product selection logic
Soil Core 3 METERA Soil Used where core microbial soil support may fit the soil profile and programme objective.
Soil Core 5 METERA Soil Used where broader microbial soil support may be suitable for a more developed soil biology programme.
Soil Carbon Matrix METERA Soil Support Used where plant-based carbon support may help support the environment where biology operates.
Plant Signal METERA Plant Used where plant function, root, shoot or growth-stage support may fit the programme.
BioShield METERA Protect Used where fungal pressure or plant and root-zone resilience support fits the situation.
BTA Guard METERA Protect Used where nematode pressure or root-zone resilience support fits the site and management context.
Product note: Product suitability depends on soil type, site conditions, season, water quality, application method, existing biology, current inputs and management.

Use areas

SSi™ helps apply METERA products across different markets.

The same METERA product range may be used differently depending on the site, customer type and programme objective.

Agriculture

Pasture, broadacre and horticulture.

Helps connect soil biology and plant function priorities to the appropriate METERA pathway.

Turf & Councils

Sports and managed surfaces.

Helps consider root-zone condition, pressure history and programme fit for turf systems.

Lawns

Soil-first lawn support.

Helps simplify product choice for homeowners, contractors and lawn care programmes.

Gardens

Biological support for home gardens.

Helps household users understand whether Soil, Plant or Protect support may fit the situation.

Contractors

Repeatable customer conversations.

Helps contractors explain product fit clearly without relying on vague or overclaimed language.

Distributors

Clearer reseller guidance.

Helps distributors position METERA products by product role and programme fit.

Distributor support

Helping resellers explain METERA products clearly.

SSi™ Technology gives distributors and sales partners a clearer way to discuss METERA product fit without relying on vague claims.

Clear product roles

Less confusion.

Soil, Plant and Protect pathways make it easier to explain where each product fits.

Better qualification

Better questions.

SSi™ encourages sales conversations based on use area, soil context, pressure and management goal.

Programme thinking

More practical recommendations.

Products are positioned within broader programmes rather than treated as one-size-fits-all solutions.

Next step

Find the METERA product pathway that fits.

Start with your use area, current issue, soil or plant objective, and any pressure history. SSi™ Technology helps guide the conversation toward the right METERA pathway.

Important note: METERA products are designed to support biological soil and plant programmes where suitable. Results depend on soil type, weather, water quality, timing, application method, rate, existing biology, current inputs and management.
