Slakes: Soil Health Test

Unlock the power of soil health assessment with the Soil Health Institute's Slakes app. Easily and accurately measure wet aggregate stability – a key indicator of soil health.

Key Features:
• Open access to a reliable method for soil health assessment
• A simple process for photographing three air-dried soil aggregates before and after a 10-minute water submersion
• Automatic soil area estimation using an advanced pixel thresholding algorithm
• Calculation of a dimensionless aggregate stability index, indicating soil health
• Index values ranging from ~0.1 to 1, with higher values representing greater aggregate stability
