We offer a complete consultative service on how to achieve optimal growing results. We can provide detailed recommendations for sustainable soil improvement . Right through from initial analysis, to preparing compost and compost tea, to long term programmes for application.

Reports

Our reports are presented in a clear easy-to-read form. As well as the bare results, we will also tell you whether the numbers and diversity of micro-organisms in your soil, or compost or compost tea, are within the optimal range for your specific location and crop.

Nutrient Analysis

We can also analyse the nutrients present in your soil; Nitrogen, Phosphate, Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium and micro-nutrients. There is a strong correlation that shows that increasing the life in the soil increases the nutrients available to plants. We can provide specific consultation for your cropping system.

Plant Health

Increased plant health means increased productivity and disease resistance. For example, foliar applications of compost teas have been shown to reduce disease incidence. Our assay for microbial leaf colonisation provides to opportunity to directly observe the efficacy of tea applications.

Fungal Identification

If you have a particular plant disease problem then please contact the Laboratory to discuss discuss identification and treatment options.
