What you need to know about soil microbiology

Factsheet developed by the Soil Wealth Integrated Crop Protection project.

Soil health is closely linked to soil microbiology. This fact sheet outlines information on a broad group of soil microbes including fungi, bacteria and pseudomonas, and explains how different levels, numbers and ratios of these microbes can impact the overall health of your soil and crops. 

The fact sheet also provides an overview of ways to change your soil microbiology through manipulation of the soil biomass, and shares the results from a case study on soil microbiology testing in Tasmania.
