SOIL BIOME TESTING – COMMERCIAL 

Great Southern Biology offers soil microbiome testing. Our system uses DNA sequencing of  samples to identify microbial populations contained within soils. Our reporting system identifies both pathogenic and beneficial microbes allowing farmers and agronomists to uncover potential imbalances. We can then assist with product and technique selection to rebalance production systems.

PATHOGEN DIAGNOSIS 

GSB offer agronomists a plant pathology service whereby we will look at images and, if necessary, samples of plant material in order to diagnose disease pressure and/or nutrient deficiencies.

SOIL BIOME TESTING – RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT 

GSB offer research organisations the ability to demonstrate agricultural input performance by measuring the effect of products on soil biology illuminating a pathway from successful product development all the way to commercialisation.

Modern cropping can be likened to an ever changing jigsaw puzzle. Some pieces are large and easy to identify, others are minute and are very challenging to understand. At Great Southern Biology we help with the small and difficult-to-understand parts of the puzzle.

Farming continues to evolve. In the past 100 years we have seen periods of great change: mechanisation, precision fertilisation, a large selection of farm chemicals as well as the development of new and exciting cultivars of some of our oldest crops. Only now are we starting to understand how these different advancements interact.

Soil and plant biology remain the one piece of the cropping puzzle that is still not well understood by the majority of producers and the advisor industry that support them. Great Southern Biology are here to help with that last piece of the agronomic puzzle.

Business partners Kamal Mohd and Grant Kelson have a wealth of agricultural production experience. With a passion for plant a soil science, they are well equipped to help agronomists and farm advisors look beneath the surface in order to take their customers to the next level of production.

One of the first steps to understanding the existing health of a farmer’s soil is a microbiome test. GSB provide a range of DNA based tests that identify the number and diversity of microbes contained within a farmers soil and their role in aiding or obstructing a farm’s productivity. As advocates for data based decision making in the Australian cropping system, we believe such testing, coupled with conventional mineral testing is the best way of understanding the full spectrum of soil health.

As Great Southern Biology our aim is to help in the remaining pieces of your cropping puzzle. 

Farming has come a long way in the last 100 years from horses to self driving tractors, manures to precision fertilizers and no chemical to genetically modified plants that are designed to lower chemical usage.  

Biology remains the piece of the cropping puzzle that is still not well understood by the majority of producers or those who are advising them. At Great Southern Biology we aim to fill in these last few pieces to help complete the farming masterpiece.  

Business partners Kamal Mohd and Grant Kelson have a wealth of agronomic and production experience. With a passion for agriculture and emerging trends in plant and soil science, they are well equipped to help agronomists and farm advisors take their customers to the next level of production. 

GSB are distributors for the Biome Makers, BeCrop soil testing system, a DNA based soil biome test backed by an extensive database of microbes and fungi. As strong advocates for data based decision-making, GSB highly recommend the BeCrop soil biome test as the starting point of assessing and improving your soil health.
