Soil Tests
Microbe Wise for Soil Pro measures the living biomass of key microbial groups important for soil health and productivity, directly from your sample. Results are presented in a way that allows you to easily assess the microbial health of your soil in detail and indicates what that means in practice.
If plants are not currently being grown (e.g., pre-plant) opt for Microbe Wise for Soil Pro Forecasta.

Microbe Activity Wise Pro measures the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) produced by microbes in your soil over 3 days to calculate potential microbial activity, soil basal respiration (SBR), soil microbial biomass carbon (SMBC), potentially mineralisable nitrogen (PMN) and potentially mineralisable phosphorus (PMP). In general, higher activity is linked to better soil health and nutrient availability because of the important roles microbes play in nutrient cycling and other important soil processes.
