I want to know if I want to apply the metagenomics test routinely to my soil throughout planting cycles to diagnose and predict harmful pathogens that might affect crop health and overall yield. How often should I take a soil sample?

Hello, soil microbial communities are complex and susceptible to change this emphasizes the importance of establishing a baseline for the study. Controls are needed to provide such a baseline for determining whether a change in the soil microbial community is due to the treatment and use. The tests at least need to be performed before and after the metagenomic study.
