A new study conducted in Africa evaluates Solvita vs other soil health tests for assessing the reversal of soil degradation. Paired fields in Ethiopia (23 farms), Kenya (23 farms), and Tanzania (13 farms) were assessed by a participatory approach where farmers and...
Mount Vernon, Maine, June 9, 2022- Woods End Laboratories LLC, a US based leader in agricultural soil health testing, announced that Rebecca Harvey, PhD has joined the organization as Chief Executive Officer. Rebecca will lead the organization to further grow its...
WOODS END LAB released findings of the 2021 Solvita Proficiency test examining performance of thirty soil labs worldwide which use Solvita for soil quality tests. Four soil types were selected including fallow and arid rangeland, and intense tilled organic and...
Composite satellite images that show long-term yield trends have traditionally not correlated well with soil tests. This suggests that dominant forces in yield sustainability are not being captured in the way soil testing is conducted. Soil health tests also are not...
Woods End Laboratories LLC has received funding in a collaborative USDA Project assessing carbon reserves in lands under CRP (Conservation Reserve Program). This first of a kind project combines geo-spatial modelling, soil sampling and soil analyses to quantify and...
LaboratorA long-term study by the University of Guelph shows the usefulness of Solvita® soil tests as tools to predict soil health. The study, published in the September 2021 edition of Soil and Tillage Research, shows Solvita tests enabled a high level of certainty...
Soil health is a popular concept, often promoted as “regenerative” farming or "carbon farming" and more, yet it is traceable to very early challenges to conventional farming which triggered the new field. At the recent 2020 Soil Sci Society meetings, Will Brinton and...
Soil tests to examine soil health first arose half a century ago as the new alternative farming movement put pressure on scientists to allow scrutinizing farming systems for potentially deleterious soil effects. But how much does soil testing itself cause deleterious...
Many persons have recently discovered soil biology at hand of simple demonstration tests - a "popular" one being "soil my undies", where a pair of briefs are buried randomly in soil and unearthed a little later to see to what extent the cotton fabric has decomposed....
