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.
What does it measure?
Greenhouse SoilStock
The total picture of the fertility of your soil:
- Chemical: N-total soil reserve, C/N, N supply capacity (NSC), S total soil reserve, C/S, S supply capacity (SSC), K soil reserve, Ca soil reserve, Mg soil reserve, Na soil reserve, P plant available, P soil reserve
- Physical: pH, organic carbon, organic matter, organic matter balance, calcium carbonate, clay, silt, sand, CEC, Ca, Mg, K, Na, Al and H saturation %, structure pyramid, friability, capping, pF-curve.
- Biological: Microbial biomass, microbial activity, fungal and bacterial ratio.
