What does it measure?
This analysis gives an indication whether there are mycorrhizae present or absent.
Relevance to Soil Health?
A healthy soil has a strong Mycorrhizae association between the plants present, be it cover crops or row crops. The Mycorrhizae fungus excretes a gluey substance “glomalin” that binds the soil particles. There are also other glue-producing microbes that live in association with the plant roots. A high “Aggregate stability” reading will therefore indicate a healthy soil.
Conclusions from results?
These results will provide evidence of whether more Mycorrhizae “strong” attracting cover crops, like Sunflower must be introduced into the cover crop mix.
