soil microbes
Welcome to microBIOMETER
Improving the health of your soil is essential to increasing your output, but how can you tell if you are making progress?
Research shows that microbial biomass (fungi and bacteria) is the leading indicator of soil health. Living soil fixes nutrients, improves plant immunity, stores water more efficiently and builds soil structure, therefore, a healthy level of microbes increases productivity while reducing inputs.
microBIOMETER® is a low cost, 20-minute on-site soil test for microbial biomass and fungal to bacterial ratio that allows you to quickly determine the health of your soil.
Frequent retesting will provide you with the data necessary to identify if your soil management practices are working.

microBIOMETER® measures the microbial biomass of soil, compost, and compost teas/extracts. It also calculates the fungal to bacterial ratio for soil and compost.
This data allows you to track the health of your soil over time.
Microbial biomass is calculated and displayed in micrograms of microbial-carbon per gram of soil (μg/g) and fungal to bacterial ratio is calculated and displayed as F:B, F% and B%. Instructions can be found directly in the app as well.

Soil Tests.
Express Post 100gm samples in sealed plastic bags (Zip lock), as freshness is important, and we will endeavour to provide with Reports within 2 days. This is a little slower than soil scans as these are chemical tests.
Please order via our "Store", which will alert us of imminent arrival.
