Greenhouse soil
Complete insight into chemical, physical and biological soil fertility
Greenhouse soils contain nutrients that can be freely available or bound to soil particles. The balance between organic matter and clay determines how strongly nutrients are held and how available they are for the crop.
Greenhouse soil analysis gives growers a complete understanding of soil fertility both before and during cultivation.
What is greenhouse soil analysis?
Greenhouse soil analysis assesses the chemical, physical and biological properties that determine soil fertility in greenhouse systems. It evaluates how nutrients are stored and released, how soil structure supports root development, and how soil life influences nutrient cycling.
Two complementary analyses are available:
- Greenhouse SoilStock: full soil assessment before cultivation
- Greenhouse SoilCheck: nutrient availability check during cultivation
Together, they provide continuous insight throughout the growing season.
When should you use it?
Before cultivation: Greenhouse SoilStock
Use SoilStock to optimise soil fertility before establishing the crop. It identifies nutrient reserves, soil structure, organic matter balance, pH and biological activity, ensuring the soil is ready for cultivation.
During cultivation: Greenhouse SoilCheck
Use SoilCheck to monitor nutrient availability while the crop is growing. This helps adjust fertilisation in time, prevent deficiencies and support stable crop development.
Parameters included in the analysis
In greenhouse soil analysis, both chemical and biological parameters are evaluated to provide a comprehensive understanding of soil quality. Chemical analysis focuses on pH, EC, nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, and magnesium, as well as trace elements and potential salt accumulation. In addition, the organic matter balance is assessed. Biological analysis examines the presence of plant pathogens and overall soil activity, providing insight into the vitality and resilience of the greenhouse soil. Together, these parameters help assess nutrient availability, soil health, and potential risks to crop production.
