How can we help you

Discover the wide range of Soil Health and Plant Disease analysis services.

Routine Nematode Analysis

This analysis identifies and counts plant-parasitic nematodes found in soil and root samples to determine potential risks to crops and to guide effective management recommendations.

Nematode Community Profile (NCP) Analysis

This analysis measures the diversity of free-living nematodes in the soil and calculates key ecological indices, helping to assess overall soil biological functioning and responses to management practices over time.

Plant Disease Analysis

This analysis detects important plant pathogens such as Phytophthora, Pythium and Fusarium in soil, water, compost, roots and plant material, enabling accurate diagnosis and timely disease management.

Bud Fruitfulness Analysis

This analysis evaluates how many grape bunches are already formed inside dormant buds, helping producers make informed pruning decisions to optimise bearer length and achieve profitable yields.

Bud Mite Analysis

This analysis detects the presence of grapevine bud mites, which damage primary buds and reduce yield, enabling producers to assess infestation levels and plan timely, effective control measures.

Insect Analysis

This analysis identifies and counts insects and mites from traps or plant material, including pests such as mealybugs, thrips, bud mites, margarodes and phylloxera, helping producers assess pest pressure and make informed management decisions.

Pollen Viability Analysis

This quick, cost-effective test determines whether pollen is still viable using a staining method, providing useful insight into the quality of stored pollen and its potential for successful fertilisation.

Biostimulant Analysis

We analyse microbial biostimulant products—bacteria and fungi—to determine concentration, purity, compatibility and shelf life, ensuring product quality and performance before application.

Mycorrhiza Colonisation Analysis

This analysis determines the presence of mychorrhizal fungi in plant roots and, provides insight into soil health, aggregate stability, and the effectiveness of practices or products aimed at improving mycorrhizal colonisation in crops.

Soil Health

Our services include the mycorrhizae colonisation and nematode community profile as well as microbial respiration, aggregate stability, Haney and PLFA. These tests help farmers and specialists make informed decisions to improve soil function and crop performance. For more information visit our SHSC website.

Pot & Glasshouse Trials

Nemlab conducts controlled nematode field trials in semi-field (pot) and glasshouse environments to evaluate the performance of nematicides, biostimulants, and other products. Available at all our branches, these trials provide reliable, repeatable data on product efficacy, helping growers and researchers validate solutions before large-scale field implementation.
