SOIL MICROBIAL ANALYSIS

Understand your
soil biology.

Explore the biological condition of the soil, including microbial populations, beneficial organisms and pathogen presence.

Microbial populations

Understand the microorganisms present in the soil to inform soil and nutrient management.

Beneficial organisms

Use biological insights to support decisions about soil fertility and crop health.

Pathogen presence

Investigate harmful soil microorganisms as part of a more informed disease-management approach.

PESTICIDE EFFICACY TESTING

Evaluate performance
before field application.

Compare chemical pesticide performance against target pests and pathogens under controlled laboratory conditions. Use the findings to support product selection and crop protection strategies.

Evaluate effectiveness

Assess how a pesticide performs against the agreed target organism under the test conditions.

Compare products

Compare alternative pesticides using controlled laboratory observations.

Inform crop protection

Use laboratory findings to guide product selection and the next steps in your field strategy.

ADDITIONAL LABORATORY ENQUIRIES

Start with what
you need to investigate.

Our laboratory services also cover water, microbial and disease analysis. Share the sample type and the question you need answered so our team can confirm the appropriate test scope.

Water analysis

Tell us about the production system, water sample and management question. The team can confirm the available analysis and parameters for your enquiry.

Microbial analysis

Discuss the microbial question and sample involved. We can confirm the scope needed to investigate populations or organisms relevant to your production system.

Disease analysis

Describe the disease-related concern, production setting and any existing findings. The team can confirm the relevant test scope and sample requirements.

PREPARE YOUR LAB ENQUIRY

A clear question.
A suitable sample.

01

Describe the question

Tell us what you need to investigate and why the result matters to your production decision.

02

Share the context

Include the sample type, production system and relevant background or previous findings.

03

Confirm the test scope

Discuss available testing, sample requirements, expected reporting time and quotation with the team.

04

Arrange the sample

Confirm collection, packaging and delivery requirements before dispatching your sample.

SUSTAINABILITY IN PRACTICE

Evidence to guide your next decision.

Understanding soil biology and comparing pesticide performance can help define a more targeted management approach. Laboratory findings provide a starting point for evaluating changes in the field.

QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU ENQUIRE

Plan the next step.

Which samples can I send?

Contact us before collecting or dispatching samples. We can confirm the sample type, quantity, packaging and handling requirements for the agreed test scope.

How much will the test cost, and when will I receive the result?

The quotation and expected reporting time depend on the agreed analysis. Share the testing question and sample details so the team can confirm these before you proceed.

What does soil microbial analysis investigate?

Soil microbial analysis explores microbial populations, beneficial organisms and pathogen presence. Confirm the specific scope needed for your soil-management question with the laboratory team.

How should I use laboratory findings in the field?

Laboratory results should be interpreted alongside the production conditions and management context. Controlled testing can inform decisions and the next evaluation step; field performance depends on the setting in which a product is used.
