ABOUT QMA
Quartz Mountain Analytics helps gardeners and growers understand what to do after they receive a laboratory soil-test report. The laboratory provides the measurements. QMA translates those results into an actionable Soil Amendment Plan tied to the crop or intended use and the actual growing area.
Preserves laboratory values and methods, evaluates supported crop and soil context, chooses naturally focused amendments, sizes them to the actual area, credits overlapping nutrient contributions, and explains application and retesting.
QMA does not perform laboratory testing, change laboratory numbers, guess when important evidence is missing, diagnose contamination or plant disease, or promise a crop result.
Home gardeners, market gardeners, orchards, perennial crops, and larger field users who want a clear bridge from laboratory evidence to practical amendment decisions.
A soil test can contain valuable information without making the next step obvious. A grower may still need help deciding which amendment is appropriate, how much to apply to the actual bed or field, whether several materials overlap, and when the best recommendation is to add nothing.
QMA keeps the laboratory’s findings separate from QMA’s interpretation, recognizes that laboratories use different testing methods, and keeps unlike crop areas separate when their requirements conflict.
