Soil Microbiology
A soil monitoring provides a comprehensive analysis of the microbial activity in the root zone, enabling:
- Monitoring of seasonal variations in the microbial population
- An assessment of the biological constraints on agricultural productivity and soil health
Why is it important to monitor microbial levels in the soil?
- Soil bacteria are vital for carbon cycling, nutrient availability, and plant health.
- Their populations are affected by residue type, moisture, temperature, and pH.
- Key microbial species enhance soil fertility by increasing organic matter and boosting essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and iron.
- Healthy microbial communities improve soil productivity, crop yields, and resilience.
- Our Rhizobium screening test before sowing optimizes planting by ensuring effective nitrogen fixation in legumes, enhancing establishment and yield
Effective management of soil microorganisms can result in:
- Improved nutrient cycling in the soil/root system.
- Enhanced crop vitality
- Increased tolerance to pests and diseases
- Reduced weed pressure
- Reduced nutrient loss from the root zone
- Lowering soil compaction levels
- Increased ability to hold water
- Reduced waterlogging or topsoil runoff
- Improved product flavour
