Microbiologist Martin Reinhard Rasmussen has developped and built the MARTINIS system as part of his PhD project at Aarhus University. Here he is in the field with his prototype. As a courtesy to the ...

Current techniques for measuring nano/microplastic (N/MP) concentrations in soil require the soil organic matter content to be separated and have limited resolution for analyzing N/MPs sized <1 µm.

The old Bray-1 method required multiple samples to provide a full nutrient picture of the sample, slowing the process and increasing the cost. In contrast, the new method, called Mehlich-3, requires ...

Determining the health of agricultural soil has traditionally been a slow, messy, and expensive process involving hazardous chemicals. But what if the ...

Soil color could replace expensive chemical tests, helping farmers monitor fertility and carbon faster and more safely.
