Soil Biology Testing
A soil biology test will tell you:
- Bacteria biomass level
- Fungi biomass level
- Fungi to Bacteria (F:B) ratio
- Protozoa identification and count
- Nematode identification (function, either good or bad) and count
- Whether these results are in the correct range for the crop you want to grow, based on the stage of succession that is best suited for your crop.
- Identification of harmful microbial life that can indicate soil problems
Results come with recommendations for next steps.
