Living systems

A service for farmers, foresters and back yard gardeners looking to reach the next level of yield potential by improving soil bio-fertility.

Microbial Planet Analytics provides microbial analysis that quantifies the four groups of microorganisms present in soil including: bacteria, fungi, protozoa and nematodes. This data allows gardeners, farmers and soil and compost specialists to manage their biology for the plants they want to grow. 

Take the next step toward understanding and influencing the biology in your garden, on your farm or in the forest you manage. Get in touch today to learn more about how we can help with your most important decisions for next season!

Biological solutions for improved yield and disease resistance.

Increasing biological functioning reduces input requirements.

Soil analytics is key to  Restoring Soil Biology and Fertility

Soil biology is responsible for the nutrient cycling that plants depend on. When soil supports high levels of prey and predators, nutrient cycling increases thereby providing plants with all the nutrients they need. This promotes vigorous growth, increased yields, pest resistance while lowering cost of external inputs and applications.

It all starts with a biological analysis.

"Essentially, all life depends upon the soil... There can be no life without soil and no soil without life; they have evolved together."
Charles E. Kellogg, USDA Yearbook of Agriculture 1938

Sampling

 Sampling protocol is critical to ensuring that the collection accurately represent the site.

Analysis

Soil and compost assessment of the bacteria, fungi, protozoa and nematodes present.

Interpretation

Based on analysis results, necessary treatments and applications are determined.
