Soil & Biological Audit

In-depth soil and nutrient analysis for targeted, site-specific turf programmes

Healthy, resilient turf starts with understanding what is happening beneath the surface. The Soil Biology Soil & Biological Audit provides an in-depth analysis of soil condition, nutrient availability and the factors influencing plant and rootzone health.

Going beyond standard soil testing, the audit examines both available and reserve nutrient status, alongside soil characteristics including pH, texture, organic matter and cation exchange. This provides a much clearer picture of what is present in the soil – and, importantly, what is actually available to the plant.

Test. Understand. Target.

The value of soil analysis isn't simply in producing a set of results. Soil Biology uses the findings to develop a targeted nutrition programme specific to your golf course, sports pitch or turf surface.

Rather than routinely applying combinations of nutrients that may not be required, the audit helps identify where inputs are needed and where they aren't. This enables a more precise approach to nutrition, helping turf managers make better use of both their inputs and their budget.

What does the audit assess?

The Soil & Biological Audit provides a detailed picture of the rootzone, including:

  • Soil texture and sand/silt/clay composition
  • pH and standard nutrient indices
  • Total Exchange Capacity
  • Exchangeable cations
  • Macro and micronutrient status
  • Organic matter
  • Estimated nitrogen release
  • Available soluble nutrients
  • Nutrient balance, including identified deficiencies or excesses

The audit also compares the desired, found and difference values for key nutrients, helping turn laboratory analysis into practical information for future management decisions.

From analysis to action

Using the results, Soil Biology can formulate a site-specific nutrition programme based on what your soil and turf actually require.

Programmes can utilise our highly efficient Amide complexed foliar fertilisers and S-Chelate micronutrients, alongside other Soil Biology solutions where appropriate, targeting identified requirements rather than applying nutrients unnecessarily.

The result is not an off-the-shelf fertiliser programme, but a more informed approach designed around your soil, your turf and your site.

Better information. More targeted inputs. Healthier soil and turf.
