Tools of the Trade: On-Farm Microscopy & Soil Management Practices (Microbes Series)
Get your hands dirty in this hands-on, on-farm event, where we put theory into practice. In this engaging session, we’ll introduce you to a variety of biological tools used to assess soil biology, building upon the knowledge from our first virtual event in this Microbes series. Discover the tools used in soil analysis, including microscopes and microbiometers, and learn how they can help you gain valuable insights into your soil’s health. Also, bring a sample of your own soil, and our experts will evaluate it right on the spot. After the analyses, join us for a group discussion, where we’ll interpret the results and provide insights into soil management practices that can make a real difference on your farm.
