Soil Testing in the Palm of Your Hand

Improving the health of your soil is essential to increasing your output, but how can you tell if you are making progress? Research shows that microbial biomass — fungi and bacteria — is the leading indicator of soil health. Living soil fixes nutrients, improves plant immunity, stores water more efficiently, and builds soil structure. A healthy level of microbes increases productivity while reducing inputs.

microBIOMETER® is a low-cost, 20-minute on-site soil test for microbial biomass and fungal-to-bacterial ratio that allows you to quickly determine the health of your soil using smartphone technology. Frequent retesting provides you with the data necessary to identify whether your soil management practices are working.

Whether you're a farmer, gardener, educator, or soil scientist, microBIOMETER® puts reliable soil biology data right in your hands — no lab wait times, no expensive equipment.

• Real-Time Soil Testing: Testing on field-moist soil provides data in real time, allowing for the most accurate results.
• Track Management Effectiveness: Quickly assess how amendments impact soil microbial biomass, ensuring your management practices are effective.
• Boost Regenerative Agriculture: Monitor changes in soil biology, increase carbon storage, and support sustainable farming practices.
• Data Sharing: microBIOMETER® stores test data and locations in a cloud portal. View, edit, and export to Excel for analysis or sharing.
• Team Projects: Create custom projects, invite team members, and share soil test results with custom fields, dates, and locations.
