The soil analyses that we offer allow us to define the parameters to be corrected in order to obtain an optimal environment for the development of all biological life (bacteria, fungi, earthworms, etc.). The more diversified and dense this development is, the more the plants will benefit from quality nutrition and balanced growth. The analysis kits and sampling protocol are sent to you. The interpretations of the analyses are carried out by Georges Faivre, an expert in the field, with the writing of a very detailed report and advice on the technical route to follow to rebalance your soil.
Physico-Chemical and Bioelectronic Analyses
We carry out surface and in-depth analysesDetails of the measured parameters:
Granulometric fractionation in order to know the texture of the soil, that is to say, the distribution between clays, sands (fine and coarse) and silts (fine and coarse), and also to know the stability of the soil (Beating index), the risks of asphyxiation and the aptitude for cracking.
The evolution of amendments and biological life will not be the same depending on whether the soil is asphyxiated or not.
Similarly, nutrient leaching and soil compaction will be a function of soil compaction.
Surface sample analysis :
- Total limestone,
- Exchangeable limestone, potassium, magnesium, sodium, copper, manganese,
- Organic matter, Organic Carbon (Ann method), Total Nitrogen (Dumas), pH KCl, Phosphorus (Joret Hébert), CEC (Metson), Granulometry with Limestone, Boron (boiling water),
- Copper (EDTA), Iron (EDTA), Manganese (EDTA), Zinc (EDTA), Active limestone, CAI fraction > 2 mm,
- Exchangeable copper and manganese,
- Redox potential, Conductivity, water pH, Kcl pH.
Depth sample analysis :
- Redox potential, Conductivity, water pH,
Details on bioelectronic analyses:
Bioelectronic measurements: pH, resistivity (rô), hydrogen redox potential, and values obtained by calculation: rH2 and power (vegetative expression) in surface soil and deep soil.
These bioelectronic analyses make it possible to define 4 biological terrains:
Acid and reduced, Acid and oxidized, Alkaline and reduced, Alkaline and oxidized
The biological life, development and health status of plants will be different depending on the type of biological soil.
Examples :
With an Acidic and Reduced organic soil: plants do not grow well and will be sensitive to frost with superficial rooting. Metallic toxicity, leaching of minerals….
If the biological terrain is Alkaline and Oxidized : we observe surface insects on the plant: aphids, mites, scale insects as well as fungi: powdery mildew, blister, rust, rot etc. Insolubilization, blocking of phosphorus….
Bioelectronic analyses also provide valuable information on:
- the balance between oxygen availability and its consumption by the respiratory activity of the biomass (roots + rhizosphere),
- the availability of the pantry (exchangeable minerals),
- the direction of flow of electrons between the surface and the depth in order to determine whether mineral exchanges are taking place between the subsoil and the surface soil,
- water availability depending on its salinity and the structure of the organo-mineral complex and especially on the ability of the roots to establish themselves in depth,
- the type of disease that may develop.
Only bioelectronic analysis, in addition to physicochemical analysis and granulometry , provides information on the "energy" behavior of a soil, the buffer capacity and the biological terrain. These indications are necessary in order to determine the RIGHT agronomic strategy to implement, in order to optimize the functioning of your soil and ensure the sustainable hardiness of your crops while optimizing yield and quality.
In practice:
You will receive a specific analysis kit, containing:
- A sampling guide, to guide you through the sampling, packaging and delivery of your kit
- An information questionnaire to be returned to Econature
- A dispatch sheet
- 2 bags: one ground (surface soil) and one subsoil (deep soil)
- A carrying bag
- A prepaid shipping label
We receive the results within 10 to 15 working days upon receipt at the laboratory.
Let us clarify: the analyses are carried out by the Auréa laboratory with specific specifications according to the directives of Georges Faivre, specialist in agrology.
Finally: for each of your plots analyzed, Georges Faivre draws up a complete report as well as a summary with advice on the agronomic strategy to implement to improve the functioning of the soil as a whole and obtain optimal plant growth.

Finally, in certain specific cases, we suggest supplementing this information with:
- more specific analyses such as a biochemical fractionation of organic matter which will inform us about the availability of nitrogen and carbon,
- or even analyses on the plant to specify imbalances in protein synthesis, mineral balances in order to manage supplementation according to the crop, etc.
