• An enhanced understanding among growers of how various best management practices affect soil biological activity, leading to increased adoption of effective soil management strategies.
• Insights for growers and extension professionals into the interpretation, opportunities, and limitations of biological soil health indicators and assessment methods.
• A nuanced understanding of the value of soil health tests and biological growth-enhancing products among growers and extension professionals.
