Monitoring your Soil Health with microBIOMETER®
Within the past decade, the agricultural community has been slowly inching away from conventional practices to more regenerative ones. Due to a long history of continuous physical and chemical disturbance to our soils, regenerating our soils is crucial. The knowledge surrounding regenerative agriculture has expanded and more farmers are realizing the benefits of changing practices - not only for their crop yield, but also for our environment. A major benefit to practicing more regenerative agriculture is the increase in the soil microbial community which leads to an increase the amount of carbon being stored in the soil. Having a diverse and healthy level of microbes in your soil improves plant immunity and growth, fixes nutrients, stores water more efficiently, and builds soil structure.
