Testing Services
Soil Foodweb Oregon offers professional lab testing of different organisms found in healthy soil, compost, compost tea, and other soil amendments. Using direct microscope methods, we measure populations of bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and nematodes. We offer specialized testing for mycorrhizal colonization and leaf surface foodweb evaluations.
Mycorrhizal colonization analysis measures the amount of beneficial fungi living on plant roots.
The leaf surface examinations monitor the success of foliar applications of compost tea.
We also offer general testing for pH, electrical conductivity and E. coli.
Clients seeking more information regarding their test results, soil biology, or practical application of the Soil Foodweb approach can access Soil Foodweb Oregon’s consulting services.
