Alfa Chemistry Testing Lab - Agriculture & Crop Analytical Services: Microbiological Testing Service

Microbiological Testing Service: Although soil organisms only comprise <1% of the total mass of a soil, they play a vital role in supporting all plants and animals. Soil microbes can break down organic matter and recycle nutrients, which also create humus to help the soil retain moisture and encourage the formation of soil structure. Certain microbes (mainly bacteria) can fix nitrogen by converting atmospheric nitrogen (N2) to ammonia (NH3), which is essential for agriculture development. Meanwhile, soil microbes promote plant growth and control pests and diseases. Therefore, the microbiological testing of agricultural-related substances is important for crop yield and quality.
