Microbial Products in Agriculture: A Practical Way to Measure Their Impact on the Field
Microbial products are becoming more popular in agriculture as tools to improve soil health, help crops grow stronger and make farming more resilient. These products contain live beneficial microbes that are meant to support important soil processes, like breaking down plant residues, making nutrients more available to plants, and helping crops cope with stress. But […]
Soil Microbial Testing: Practical Introduction to BIOTREX and CLPP Approach
Healthy Soil Starts with Active Microbes When we think of healthy soil, we often imagine rich, dark earth that holds moisture and supports growth of healthy crops. But underneath the surface, something much more complex is happening. Soil is home to an enormous living community of microorganisms — bacteria, fungi, and more — working silently […]
Why Soil Microbial Testing Is a Smart Strategy
Why Do We Test Soils? Chemical soil testing is standard practice in modern agriculture. It is recommended by agronomists and scientists, and often offered by fertiliser companies. It’s like checking your fridge before you go shopping – you need to know what’s missing. But soil isn’t just a container for minerals. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium […]
Maximising Biostimulant Benefits: Why Soil Microbial Testing is Key
Plant biostimulants Plant biostimulants are emerging as a key tool in modern agriculture – helping crops withstand drought, heavy rainfall and other environmental stresses. With pressure to produce more food sustainably, biostimulants hold the promise of increasing yields without harming the environment. But for farmers promise isn’t enough. For biostimulants to really take off, growers need […]
Biostimulants in Agriculture: Benefits, Risks & the Role of BIOTREX Soil Microbial Testing
Explore the benefits and risks of biostimulants in agriculture. Learn how they impact plant growth, soil health, and microbial communities with soil microbial testing.
Nitrogen Cycling: The Role of Soil Microbes
Nitrogen: A Most Wanted Nutrient Nitrogen is the nutrient that keeps farmers up at night. It’s the most commonly deficient nutrient in soils, and the most commonly supplied by fertiliser. Without nitrogen, plants cannot build proteins or produce chlorophyll, which is essential for growth and energy production. Yet right above our heads is an endless […]

Analysing soil organic carbon is not enough
Modern agriculture plays a crucial role in our world today, both as a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, and as a potential solution to mitigate climate change and reduce global emissions. This potential lies hidden beneath the soil surface, where atmospheric carbon is sequestered and stored. Soil is a large carbon reservoir containing between […]
How to improve soil health in orchards?
Soil management in orchards is a whole different game compared to field crops and presents some unique challenges. Growing the same crop in the same place for a long time can use up some of the nutrients in the soil. This means that soil can get out of balance easily, which can lead to reduced […]
