microBIOMETER® Starter Kit: Unveil the Health of Your Soil!
microBIOMETER® is a rapid, on-site soil test that measures soil microbial biomass and fungal to bacterial ratio (F:B) using patented smartphone technology. It can be used directly on soil and soil-based compost. The app features sample geolocation and cloud-syncing ability, enabling growers and consultants to visualize and track the success of their soil health.
This starter pack has 20 sample test cards and 20 sachets of reagent. The pack includes a whisker mixer, soil sampler and a soil sifter. The patented microbiometer test only takes around 10 minutes to perform, yet accuracy is on par with lab tests costing 10 times as much. Mix sifted soil for 30 seconds in the reagent solution, let it settle for 10 minutes, place 3 drops on our test card, scan it with our smart phone app, and you are done - it really is that simple! Results are archived and accessible in the cloud.
Soil health is the topic of much discussion but until now, there has not been any simple way to give an objective measure. The microBIOMETER is the answer. Microbial biomass is the best single indicator of soil health. (Doran, 2000).The microBioMeter in conjunction with a smartphone app provides a single number which can be used for decision making. The new app also gives the ratio of fungal to bacterial microbes. The app also provides a GPS location and the date/time when accessed.
You cant manage what you dont measure. Knowing the microbial biomass of the soil in each field enables the wise farmer to evaluate the effect of manures, cover crops, microbial inoculants, fertilisers, cultivation practices, etc. Have you measured yours recently?

Unlock the secrets of your soil's fertility and take the guesswork out of your soil management practices.
