Here is why microBIOMETER® is the best test for soil health.

Until now tests for microbial biomass were expensive and time consuming. microBIOMETER® costs $13.50 or less and takes 20 minutes with results read by your cell phone.

▪ Only microBIOMETER® identified soil health in a U. of Tennessee study of soil health test methods including Cornell, USDA, Alabama and other soil health panels costing ten times as much.
▪ There are >2 million academic articles that use microbial biomass laboratory tests as proof of soil health. However, lab tests cost $100 - $500. microBIOMETER® takes 20 minutes at an average of $10/test.
▪ Soil microbes quickly die when removed from the soil. microBIOMETER® reveals the microbial biomass of your soil as it exists. Lab tests use dried soil and we have demonstrated that 80% of microbes die upon drying.
▪ The low cost and simplicity of microBIOMETER® means you can use it to monitor what is happening in time to make necessary corrections.
▪ microBIOMETER® can tell you if you are increasing your soil organic carbon. For instance, an increase in microbial biomass of 100 ug MBC/g per acre of agricultural land is equal to an elephant's weight in microbial biomass, which is about 400 lbs of microbial carbon or >1450 lbs of CO2 equivalents. This can be accomplished by switching from heavy chemical fertilizer use to regenerative practices.

How many soil samples should I test per hectare?

We receive this question often. If the area is planted in the same crop and visibly looks the same, we recommend one microBIOMETER® soil test per hectare. If there are differences in crop or performance then these different areas should be tested as well.

Why is testing for soil microbes important?

Measuring the amount microbes in a soil sample is important for several reasons. Usually, a healthy soil has a good mixture of different types of soil microbes, as well as adequate numbers of microbes.
