What is Soil Diseases and Weeds?

The Soil disease and Weed analysis identifies the presence of soil-borne fungi, weed seeds and viruses, even before visible symptoms appear. The study uses proven, reliable methods such as plating techniques and bioassays on large soil samples, increasing the likelihood of detecting pathogens. This provides a clear picture of the risks present in the soil.
 

Why to use Soil disease and Weed analysis ?

This analysis is important because soil-borne diseases and weeds can cause significant damage to susceptible crops without being noticed. By identifying which pathogens are present in advance, you can take targeted action, such as selecting a different field, adjusting your cropping plan or implementing specific control measures.

How to use Soil disease and Weed analysis ?

The analysis is carried out by examining a representative soil sample using classical diagnostic techniques. By testing large volumes of soil through plating methods and bioassays, the presence of soil-borne pathogens or weed seeds can be detected with a high degree of reliability. The results provide an overview of the pathogens identified and form the basis for practical advice on follow-up actions and risk management.
