[QUOTE="Lancrop Laboratories, post: 6943530, member: 148905"] [B]Solvita Soil Respiration Test[/B] Solvita soil respiration is a measure of the CO2 released from the soil under controlled conditions. This measurement can be used to determine aerobic microbial activity, the nutrient cycling capability of the soil and it’s potential to sustain plant growth. The Solvita CO2 respiration test has been developed as a standardised laboratory test that provides an indication of soil biological activity. Measuring the biological activity of a soil provides an insight into whether soil management practices such as crop rotations, cover-cropping and reduced tillage are sustaining or improving overall soil health. [B]Why measure soil biology?[/B] There are more organisms in a handful of healthy soil than there are people on the earth. If the soil is to be healthy, fertile and productive, then this population should be of adequate size, diversity and activity. Some of the bacteria and fungi help sustain plant growth as they break down organic matter and release plant available forms of key nutrients, particularly nitrogen, sulphur and phosphorus. Soil organisms also improve the structure of the soil by increasing soil porosity, improving drainage and providing aeration channels, allowing plant roots greater access to water and nutrition. Measuring your soil’s biological activity provides valuable insight into whether your soil management practices are sustaining or improving overall soil health. [B]How is the test reported?[/B] The respiration result heads the biological section of the Broad Spectrum Soil Health test and is a key component of the overall soil assessment score.
