Measurements are an important part of our BioPlans. We utilise Microbiometer as part of these process to trend biology levels and balance. Here there has been an improvement in the macadamia BioPlan with increases of 39% total biology and 66% in fungi. The fungal bacterial ratio is now sitting at our preferred 1:1. Our next step will be to confirm the full biology numbers at the end of the season and review our biological strategy. #measuremeasuremeasure #bioplan #Microbiometer

关于我们
Prolific Earth Sciences was founded in 2014 by Dr. Judith Fitzpatrick, Dr. E. Brady Trexler, and James Sottilo to develop powerful diagnostic tests and test methods that support sustainable soil health practices. Combined with smart phone technology, these tests offer an unprecedented convenience and efficacy not seen before in the soil testing field. Additionally, the data that is collected via the array of tests across the globe in real time will drastically increase information available to scientists about the health of our soil worldwide. The microBIOMETER? test is currently available for sale and the app is available through Apple App Store and Google Play. This test is the first quantitative diagnostic test in soil health to be read and analyzed by a cellular phone. The microBIOMETER? quantitates the level of microbes in a soil sample in 20 minutes for around $10, and stores results in the cloud. Soil health is key to addressing the growing climate change issues our world is facing. From promoting organic agricultural practices to carbon farming, experts and scientists agree that returning our soil to health will help stave off the effects of greenhouse gas emissions, return vital nutrients to our food, and allow for sustainable agriculture in the future. Standard practices for measuring microbial biomass have been error-prone, laborious, inconsistent and expensive. The microBIOMETER? mitigates all of these challenges in a simple, easy-to-use test that can be done in the field.

Checking in again with Hypatia Mars Association! In 2023, we learned how they used microBIOMETER? to test soil at the Mars Desert Research Station performing high-quality space-related research in a simulated environment. They have since brought this Martian soil testing into the classroom with their Cat Mart program. Is there life on Mars? This question is addressed together with children in public primary schools around Catalonia, Spain. During Fall 2024 up to 10 schools around the region (four of them in rural areas) have participated in the CatMart program. To find the answer, the students examined the Martian soil and analyzed the presence of microorganisms. With this activity they will learn to follow a science protocol and learn about Mars exploration. #soilstudy #soilscience #stem #schoolscience #schoolscienceproject #academia #soillife #mars #soilbiology #soilmicrobes #desertresearchstation https://lnkd.in/e9NGfsaP

CanGrow Crop Solutions Inc. has been utilizing?Microbiometer?to determine a baseline of organisms within an entire field or production area that may be high or low yielding. It allows the company to track the improvements their solutions make on the balance and diversity of micro-organisms in the soil. Microbial systems are often hard for growers to understand because they can’t be seen. microBIOMETER? creates a clear picture by quantifying which solutions work in supporting soil health and which ones do not. https://lnkd.in/dzPfGFYW Shawn Brenneman #soilhealth #cropyields #fertilizers #soilmicrobes #soilbiology #soilbiodiversity #biodiversity
