Unpacking the 'Haney Test'
In this next series of videos, Buz and Gabe will discuss two different soil tests that are available to measure some of these biological aspects: the Haney Soil Health Test and the PLFA Test.
Soil Tests
Haney Test: Understanding Soil Respiration
In this video, Dr. Buz Kloot unpacks the first part of the Haney Test dealing with CO2C and soil respiration.
Haney Test: Understanding Organic Matter
In this video, Dr. Buz Kloot unpacks the second part of the Haney Test dealing with organic matter.
Haney Test: Understanding the H3A Test
In this final video in our series unpacking the Haney Test (an assessment of soil nutrient availability), Dr. Buz Kloot explains what the final component, the 'H3A' Test, is and how it's relevant to farmers and their soils.
PLFA Test - Part 1
Much like the Haney Test, the P.L.F.A. (Phospholipid Fatty Acid Analysis) isn't always fully understood. What does the analysis have to tell us about our soils and why is it useful? Dr. Buz Kloot and Dr. Gabe Kenne break it all down for us.
PLFA Test - Part 2
Dr. Buz Kloot and Dr. Gabe Kenne discuss the importance of testing soils at the right time to get the most accurate, consistent readings.
PLFA Test - Part 3
Dr. Buz Kloot and Dr. Gabe Kenne review soil biomass numbers from a few selected fields across the state of South Carolina. These fields have recently implemented no-till and covers and are beginning to heal, regenerate and return to life!
PFLA Test - Part 4 - The Results
Dr. Buz Kloot and Dr. Gabe Kenne discuss biomass data and trends in fields with long-term cover crop use vs no cover.
