Soil & Crop
Health Diagnostics
We evaluate soil and crop health before underlying imbalances develop into visible pest and disease pressure, helping growers make earlier and more informed decisions that can reduce input dependency, improve system resilience and avoid costly reactive interventions.
Over time, these assessments create a long-term picture of the farm’s biological performance, allowing growers to track trends, compare seasons, and make more informed decisions year after year.
Ariel Rodriguez is an Agronomist from Argentina, whose qualifications have been positively assessed by VETASSESS in Australia.
With professional experience across Argentina, New Zealand, and now based in Australia since November 2022, Ariel founded Ariel Rodriguez Ag Consulting after years of study and field experience focused on soil health, plant health, and sustainable farming systems, with a clear purpose: to provide farmers with independent, science-based diagnostics and objective information that support healthier soils, more resilient crops, and long-term profitability.
Our mission is to focus on what truly matters: protecting farmers' profitability while safeguarding their most valuable asset — their soil.
We bring scientific knowledge closer to everyday farming decisions. Independent and free from commercial influence associated with input sales, we keep farmers' interests at the centre of everything we do.
At the heart of our diagnostic approach is Pfeiffer Circular Chromatography. Drawing on the scientific literature, decades of practical application, and the work of leading soil health practitioners from around the world, we consider it one of the most powerful biological diagnostic techniques available today for understanding the biological health, functional balance and overall condition of soil.
Pfeiffer Circular Chromatography provides a unique visual representation of the soil's biological organisation, functional balance and overall vitality—revealing information that conventional soil tests simply cannot provide.
It helps determine whether the living soil system is biologically active, balanced and functioning as a healthy ecosystem—or whether it is showing signs of biological degradation before these problems become visible in the field.
Throughout this website, you'll also find a selection of peer-reviewed scientific publications that explore, evaluate and document the application of Pfeiffer Circular Chromatography as a tool for assessing soil health and fertility, allowing you to review the scientific evidence behind our approach.
We believe, this type of assessment is not simply another soil test.It is the essential starting point for understanding how the living soil system is functioning and for making more informed, confident and profitable management decisions.
Our focus is the biological health of your soil.
Understand your soil's biological condition.
Monitor biological changes over time.
Optimise inputs and maximise long-term profitability.
Make better decisions with greater confidence.

Plant Health Assessment
Measure plant health in real time is possible. By assessing key sap indicators such as Brix and pH, we detect early stress before it develops into yield losses and increased production costs.
