Soil microbiology assessment performed with a microscope in our soil testing laboratory:
Observational assessment of your soil or compost sample. The Basic Survey provides a general overview of whether or not certain organisms groups are present; without numerical data. $30 per soil sample.
A Certified Lab Technician qualified by Dr. Elaine Ingham's Soil Food Web School will perform an assessment of your sample using a compound light microscope. Population estimates of the four major trophic groups are statistically generated from observations. The report will include (for each sample): nematode count, bacterial biomass μg/g, protozoa biomass number/g (flagellates, amoeba, ciliates), fungal biomass μg/g, actinobacteria biomass μg/g, and oomycetes biomass μg/g. $70 per sample
