In The Spotlight
Dr. Judith Fitzpatrick, developer of microBIOMETER®, was interviewed for Successful Farming's article Soil Health at your Fingertips.
The article addresses the need to move from traditional soil tests, which provide a general overview, towards soil health tests like microBIOMETER® which provide important details about the function of the soil.
Shane Bugeja, Extension educator with the University of Minnesota, explains, “Soil health tests not only focus on the physical or chemical characteristics of the soil but also try to measure biological life. Think about how complicated life is; it’s just as complicated underground.”
