Soil Health

SoilWise - Soil Health Assessments

Healthy soils are the cornerstone of productive and sustainable agriculture farming systems. To assist farmers face these challenges and manage the health of their soils, Serve-Ag has developed the SoilWise soil health assessment service. SoilWise provides land managers with practical information about a wide range of soil properties so they can make informed decisions for managing their soils in a productive and sustainable manner. SoilWise uses an integrated approach which builds on conventional chemical soil tests by also including key physical and biological indicators. Importantly, many of these indicators are assessed in the field to provide a more comprehensive assessment compared to laboratory techniques alone.
