Replaces costly lab tests with real time testing on living soil

Sending your soil out for lab testing is costly and can take weeks to get results. Microbes die as soon as they are removed from the soil, therefore, real time testing provides the most accurate results. microBIOMETER® allows you to test your living soil on-site with results available in 20 minutes for a cost of $13.50 a test or less. microBIOMETER® is faster, less expensive and provides a higher level of accuracy than lab microscopy.

Monitors the effectiveness of your soil amendments

Amendments are a great way to improve your soil and crop yield, however, they can be expensive and time consuming. Use microBIOMETER® to quickly assess how your inputs are impacting your soil`s microbial biomass to determine if they are effective. An increase in microbes tells you that you have increased their food, therefore, increased the food for your plant. You don`t need to do anything more.

Supports regenerative agriculture

One way regenerative agriculture improves your soil is by increasing the soil microbes. Increasing your soil microbes increases the carbon stored in the soil. For instance, switching to an optimal cover crop and no-till can increase stored microbial carbon by a ton an acre or more. microBIOMETER® can help you determine if your regenerative practices are increasing the carbon in your soil, therefore, building healthier soil while doing your part to fight climate change.
