Where can I get information on heavy metals in your soils?

bio365 tests all of our soils for heavy metal contents. All of our soils are under the limits for permitted heavy metal contents.

Some states publicly post the results of heavy metals testing. For example, here is the California database which provides public results for all of our soils: https://apps1.cdfa.ca.gov/fertilizerproducts/

    • I failed my heavy metal test in cannabis. Where do heavy metals in my crop come from?

      Some cannabis cultivars can be hyper-accumulators of heavy metals. Genetic factors within different strains and stress on the plant can exacerbate heavy metal uptake. Their roots posses proteins meant to readily uptake zinc, copper, and iron. Often, ...

    • I found your heavy metals results given in ppm. What do they mean?

      Heavy metals are expressed in a concentration of parts per million (ppm) as a way to measure extrememly small concentrations of a substance. If you recieved a result of 1 ppm, that means there is 1 mg of that metal for every 1 kg soil.

    • How does heavy metal availability relate to biochar?

      In general, biochar reduces the rate of heavy metal uptake by making heavy metals less available in soil. It does this in four ways: 1. Biochar's relatively high surface area provides a high number of adsorption sites. Adsorption is the process in ...

    • How does heavy metal availability relate to pH?

      Uptake of metals is strongly affected by pH levels in the soil. A lower pH will create an environment suitable for heavy metals to dissolve. The result is more heavy metals available for uptake by plants. A higher pH is more likely to keep metals ...
