Easily Build Control Plots and Soil Sampling Plans
Incorporate CIBO’s breakthrough approach to scaling and accelerating regenerative agriculture into your sustainability goals
Meet CIBO Control Plot Manager
CIBO Control Plot Manager, a feature of CIBO Impact, enables companies and growers to rapidly identify scientifically valid control plots and soil sampling plans for field trials and carbon or Scope 3 programs that require a measure-remeasure methodology instead of, or in addition to, modeling.

Measure Regenerative Agriculture Changes with a Scientifically Valid Control
CIBO’s Control Plot Manager addresses four key challenges all soil-sampling-based carbon regimens face.
The Complexity Challenge
Control plots must have identical soil type, practice history and weather to fields where non-modeled inputs such as biologicals are applied. CIBO instantly identifies and qualifies candidate plots based on these factors.
The Field Selection Challenge
Reserving a field for a control plot is potentially disruptive to grower operations, so flexibility is key. A perfect control plot may not be the perfect choice for the grower’s operation, so alternative options may be required. Growers must be able to choose different fields for the control without risking program disqualification or invalid results. CIBO prequalifies multiple fields that meet program requirements and presents growers with options.
The Soil Sampling Challenge
The control plot must be sampled throughout the carbon farming project. Control Plot Manager generates exportable sampling points and plans, ensuring that consistent samples are taken throughout the program or trial.
The Grower Engagement Challenge
Growers, program developers and sponsoring companies lack a tool for easy communication and management of control plot-driven projects. Control Plot Manager removes program guesswork and increases program efficiency by modernizing and simplifying the land selection workflow, program communications, monitoring and reporting. This reduces risk and increases convenience for growers and program sponsors.
